Pañoleta cheese characteristics:

We offer you a wedge of pañoleta cheese of about 250gr. Vacuum-packed. It is a natural cheese, made with raw sheep’s and cow’s milk and it is cured for a few months. This cheese takes on this name because of the production process used. It is not made using a mold, but rather the shape of cheese is due to the cloth, hence pañoleta, in which it is wrapped.

As it is a natural cheese, one of its characteristics is that it is wrapped in salt during the maturing process. Once the maturing process is complete, the cloth is removed and a thin layer of olive oil is applied so that the crust hardens without cracking. It is a unique cheese, as no two cheeses have the same shape and weight. The result is a giant cheese, weighing between 4 and 6.5kg.
