São Jorge is a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also home to one of the richest and most elaborate cheeses on Earth: São Jorge cheese. The volcanic geology of the island means that its soil is rich and fertile. Its location in the middle of the ocean guarantees a mild, damp climate all year round. The result is abundant vegetation that basically never dies and cows that are able to graze freely 365 days a year. These conditions pack São Jorge cheese with moisture, hints of spiciness, and a grassy scent.
