I sadly don’t speak Portuguese so I hope this is allowed! I stayed in Portugal for a school project some years ago and I loved these cheeses, Can someone tell me what type of cheese they are?

It’s literally written there. Queijo Curado
Those are cow buttery cheeses, sold at some supermarkets.
The original maker is Lacticínios do Paiva:

Queijo amanteigado!
Buttered cheese, the best one is produced in Serra da Estrela, and we call it queijo da serra

As others said Queijo Curado just means cured cheese.
The first one is amanteigado (buttery) meaning it has a soft buttery interior, perfect to scoop with some bread and perhaps some presunto (cured ham).
The second one is a more run-of-the-mill type. Meio Gordo just means semi-skinned.
IMHO, the go-to amanteigado type is Serra da Estrela, with no particular brand in mind.
