What are specialty cheeses (with pepper, smoked, wine-infused...)?
At Gastronomic Spain, we offer a unique selection of specialty cheeses, designed for those who are looking for something different, original, and full of flavor. But… what exactly makes them “special”?
Specialty cheeses are varieties that have been made using ingredients or processes that differ from the traditional. They often include added flavors or are matured in unique ways, giving them a distinctive personality. They're perfect to impress on a cheese board, make a special gift, or simply enjoy something out of the ordinary
Some examples you’ll find in our online store:
Pepper cheese: a smooth cheese with a spicy kick thanks to the black peppercorns blended into the cheese
Wine-infused cheese: cured by being soaked in wine, giving it a purple-colored rind and a fruity, original flavor
Smoked cheese: matured with natural smoke, providing a bold, deep, and deliciously savory taste
Herb and spice cheeses: including rosemary, paprika, garlic, or even truffle – true gourmet delights!
These cheeses stand out not just for their flavor, but also their aroma and appearance, making every bite a unique experience. In short, specialty cheeses are a delicious way to explore new sides of traditional Spanish cheese, keeping the quality while adding a creative twist.
What are the benefits of buying specialty cheeses (with pepper, smoked, wine-infused...)?
At Gastronomic Spain, we don’t just bring you the taste of Spain no matter where you are—we invite you to explore new ways to enjoy cheese.
