Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Unadulterated raw ewe milk is set with an infusion of cardoon flowers. The curd drains slowly, is moulded and salted, and the cheese ripens for at least 30 days. Young Serpa is so buttery it can spread when cut; Serpa Velho, ripened over 180 days, is semi-hard to hard.
No fixed amounts recordedThe single document gives no amounts. Cheeses range from 200 g, 10 cm across, to 2.5 kg, 30 cm across.

At a glance
Unadulterated raw ewe milk is set with an infusion of cardoon flowers. The curd drains slowly, is moulded and salted, and the cheese ripens for at least 30 days. Young Serpa is so buttery it can spread when cut; Serpa Velho, ripened over 180 days, is semi-hard to hard. Made in 5 steps over 30 days. The longest step, ripen, takes at least 30 days (European Commission 2025). Lactic acid bacteria, mainly Lactobacillus paracasei/casei in cheeses from PDO producers; Lactococcus is the main genus by sequencing (about 40–60 %), then Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus does most of the fermenting.
SerpaRipened at least 30 days; buttery, may flow when cut.
Serpa VelhoRipened more than 180 days; semi-hard to hard; may be coated in colourless paraffin.
Safety
Made from raw milk and ripened at least 30 days. The US FDA says ageing raw-milk cheese for 60 days may not remove E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella, and Listeria may grow in some cheeses while they age. The CDC says people at higher risk, including pregnant women, people 65 or older and people with weak immunity, should avoid raw-milk cheese unless it is heated to 165 °F (74 °C) or until steaming hot.
The cheese was registered as a PDO on 21 June 1996. The 2025 amendment added Serpa Velho (matured more than 180 days), adjusted the weight, diameter and height ranges, made a casein label mandatory, named cardoon flower as the coagulant, allowed a protective coating, and corrected the area to include the parish of Ermidas do Sado.
