Hi Neil, thank you for reading our post and leaving a comment. Unfortunately, Azeitão is not currently available outside of Europe. The reason for this is because it is made with raw milk and aged for less than 40 days. As a result, it does not meet the FDA requirements for unpasteurised dairy products in the USA.

Thank you for the info re Azeitao cheese. My wife and i were recently in Portugal, tasted and loved the cheese. However, search as I might, I have not been able to find it in the United States nor anywhere online for purchase. Do you know if there is a way or place I can buy it outside of Portugal? Thank you.
