Ilha Azul Queijo Curado is a traditional aged cheese with a semi-hard texture, produced on the beautiful island of Faial, part of the Azores archipelago in Portugal. This cheese is made from high-quality cow’s milk, using a recipe passed down through generations, giving it an authentic and distinctive flavor.


Ilha Azul cheese has a cylindrical shape and a recognizable yellow rind. Its interior is smooth and firm, yet creamy enough to be easily sliced and served. During the aging process, it develops a mildly intense, rich, and well-balanced taste, making it perfect for enjoying on its own or as an ingredient in various dishes.
