Saloio is a non-urban person, i.e., a person living outside a large city in the countryside. Originally, it was a term applied to those who lived in the rural areas surrounding the Portuguese capital Lisbon.[1]

Recently, a cheese manufacturer from the region of Ponte do Rol, 50 km (31 mi) north of Lisbon branded its product Saloio. It is made from sheep's milk[2] with no salt. It is a firm cheese usually served in small cylinders that are 5 cm wide and 6 cm high.
