Tasting Notes:
clean smell Lactic notes reminiscent of soft yogurt and a fruity character with subtle hints of dried fruit. On the palate it has a semi-hard texture, good butteriness and solubility and a medium-type friability. Pleasant greasy-oily sensation during chewing and grainy floury type. The taste, at first, presents a soft acidity interspersed with sweet notes of cereal. Animal aromas very well integrated as a whole and a pleasant aftertaste of raw nuts (almond) with high persistence in the mouth.
Pairing:
We would pair it with young aged red wines, and also on the other hand, it can be paired with extra virgin olive oils, honeys o jams.
Conservation
The ideal temperature for cheese conservation would be 8 – 10 ºC. If we want to stop the evolution of the cheese and the molds in the natural rind, the temperature should be 4ºC. The preferred consumption will be for a minimum of 8 months, although it must be taken into account that, from the 4th month, if the cheese is wrapped in paper, it will begin to stain due to the activity of the molds in the natural rind.
Israel Romero -
A true marvel of cheese. Soft, tender and with all the flavor. Excellent on its own and with a young red wine.
