Serra da Estrela cheese direct to your door
The municipality of Celorico da Beira, in the district of Guarda, has launched an online store to promote and sell Serra da Estrela cheese, which will later be extended to other local products.
The platform “Celorico com Gosto” (accessible at https://www.celoricocomgosto.pt/) was launched by the municipality of Celorico da Beira at the start of the 42nd edition of the Serra da Estrela Cheese Fair, which will run until 28 March, in an entirely digital format.
Serra da Estrela cheese industry at risk
The sales of the cheese with Designation of Protected Origin (DOP) from Serra da Estrela registered, due to the covid-19 pandemic, a drop of 60 percent in sales, according to Estrelacoop – the Serra da Estrela Cheese Producers Cooperative.
“Because of the massive reduction in our associated cheese producers’ sales, it was registered a drop of more than 60 percent, and we are entering a critical phase of our activity. If in December the number of sales does not rise, with Christmas sales, all those associated with the Serra da Estrela DOP may be at risk”, said the director of the association, based on Celorico da Beira, Guarda district.
