During the cold months of the year, banquets in heaven include slices of a white soft cheese served with pumpkin jam, toasted almonds, and a whiff of cinnamon. It has a silky texture and a smooth, milky taste, just what you’d expect from heavenly food.
“What do you call this celestial cheese?,” newcomers ask the angels. “Requeijão” they answer. “It is made with sheep and goat milk by shepherds who live nearby, in Portugal’s Estrela mountain. Requeijão is great all year round. But it is exceptional in the Fall and Winter, when we always include it on our menus.”
One of the surprises of heaven is that some of its delights come from earth.

“Exceptional in the Fall and Winter”, and Spring and Summer. Exceptional everyday! 🙂

Your blog is making me very excited to visit Portugal (and very hungry)!
With good reason, Lisbon is such a marvelous food city!
