The Queijo Serra da Estrela Manor House, also known as the ‘Cathedral of Serra da Estrela Cheese’, was built in the second half of the 18th century. The fields surrounding Celorico da Beira have traditionally been the source of the region’s famous Serra cheese, made from the milk of locally reared ewes. Pale and slightly runny with a thin rind, the cheese is made in the winter months. The museum displays implements used in the production process, which is explained from milking to delivery. You are able to buy guaranteed, top quality, Serra da Estrela cheese.
