This unusual conical shaped cow’s milk cheese has a mild and buttery flavour with a smoky earth like finish. The texture is fine, fatty, and semi-elastic.
This distinct conical shaped cow’s milk cheese exhibits a rich walnut coloured rind. It is made in the rich pasture and forest region of Galicia on the north west coast of Spain.
The curds are slowly pressed into the moulds to remove all traces of whey and the resulting compact dense cheese is then bathed in olive oil. Local birch wood is used for the two week smoking process, after which the cheese is cured for a minimum 3 months. The smooth texture becomes semi-elastic and the flavours are rich and buttery with a subtle picante spice and smoky earth-like finish.
