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.
Raw ewe and goat milk is mixed in set ratios ('mestiço' means mixed), strained through a white cloth, warmed to 30 °C and set with animal rennet or cardoon. The curd is never cut; it goes straight into small hoops, is squeezed, salted face by face and dried on shelves for 15–20 days. Around day 20–25 some makers wipe it with paprika water, and it is ready at 'meia cura' after 3–4 weeks. Made in 8 steps over 36 days – 48 days. The longest step, cure to meia cura, takes 21–28 days (Agrupamento de Produtores Pecuários do Norte…). Lactic acid bacteria from the raw ewe and goat milk does most of the fermenting.
No fixed amounts recordedNo fixed amounts beyond the milk ratios. Each cheese weighs 150–400 g.

What makes this one different
The curd is never cut; it goes whole into the hoops. The milk is always a mix of ewe and goat in fixed ratios, and some makers colour the rind with paprika water near the end of curing.
Milk
Raw ewe and goat milk in ratios 20:80, 40:60 or 60:40
Composition
Moisture 55–65 % of the fat-free cheese; fat 45–60 % of dry matter
Size
150–400 g; 7–10 cm across, 3–4 cm high
Season
Made from mid-January to mid-July, the lambing and kidding season
The specification cites dairy experts who wrote about the cheese in 1901 and 1905, and describes making it in the Portalegre district as a way to keep milk in a remote area. It was registered as a PGI in 2000.
