Located in:
Cheese, Portugal
A farmhouse cheese from Portugal made from a blend of cow, goat, and sheep's milk. Bica has a distinctive yet mild, buttery flavor and a satiny texture. Like most Portuguese cheeses, Bica has a slightly salty flavor because its milk comes from animals that graze on land that sits by the sea. Enjoy it with a medium-bodied red wine before the meal, or with a glass of sherry for dessert.
- Made from unpasteurized cow, goat, and sheep's milk.

Comments about Bica:
I bought a few different kinds of cheese...sadly this is not the worst, but second to worst. It tastes like the grass that the animals feed on. It smells pretty much like it tastes. It also says on here that it is unpasteurized, but when I recieved it, it says on the package that it is pasteurized. Maybe it would be better to have with wine like the description says, but you might need a few glasses before it would start tasting even close to okay.

Comments about Bica:
This is probably the softest, smoothest cheese I've tried so far. This would be perfect to try just for a snack in between meals. I either eat it alone or melted over some eggs.
