Substitutes for Serpa cheese

A substitute changes the dish. The note says how.

• Serra da EstrelaSerra da Estrela is a Portuguese sheep's milk cheese set with thistle, and its soft strong paste can replace Serpa on bread.
• Torta del CasarTorta del Casar is a Spanish sheep's milk cheese made with cardoon rennet, so the spoonable texture and herbal tang are close.
