Serpa cheese
- sheep milk
- washed
- Drink
- Gewurztraminer, or a Trappist aleA pungent washed rind overpowers most reds. An aromatic white or a yeasty strong ale meets it instead.
- Driving
- Strong dark-roast coffeeOne of the few drinks with enough presence not to be flattened.
- Eat with
- Dark rye, boiled potatoes and cornichonsThe pungent ones want starch to carry them and vinegar to cut them, never sweetness.
Derived from the milk and the style of the cheese, not from local custom. A local will have opinions.
