Maturation: 8 months (4 months medium size cheese)

This Protected Designation of Origin ‘Zamorano Cheese’ is made with 100% raw ewe’s milk from native Churra and Castilian breeds and produced organically in Zamora from the producers own flock.

The intensity of smell, flavour and spice increases with maturation, but is well perceptible even in this medium-aged cheese.

The aftertaste sensation is fine and delicate, enhanced by the aromas of fatty acids on the nose.

The persistence is long, with a slow evolution, very pleasant and subtle. On its disappearance it leaves a pleasant memory, inviting you to repeat the tasting.
