What is Sheep and Goat Cheese?
At Gastronomic Spain, we offer a wide variety of sheep and goat cheeses—two of the most traditional and flavorful cheeses in Spanish gastronomy. But… do you really know what makes them different and what makes them so special?
> Sheep Cheese
Sheep cheese is made from sheep’s milk, which has a more intense and creamy flavor than cow’s milk. It’s a very popular cheese in many regions of Spain, such as Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, or Extremadura. It has a firm and compact texture, perfect for slicing or cubing. Its flavor is usually rich, deep, and slightly buttery—ideal for those looking for something with character. The more it’s aged, the stronger the flavor. If you like bold cheese, this one’s for you!
> Goat Cheese
Goat cheese is made from goat’s milk, which is lighter and easier to digest than other kinds of milk. It’s very typical in areas like Andalusia, Murcia, or northern Spain. It has a milder, slightly tangy flavor, sometimes with a nutty note. Its texture can range from creamy to firm, depending on the type. It’s perfect for those looking for a lighter cheese that still has plenty of personality.

The 3 Best Brands of Sheep and Goat Cheese at Gastronomic Spain
At Gastronomic Spain, we carefully select the brands that are part of our store. We want to offer you authentic, flavorful, high-quality cheeses made in Spain by experienced and traditional producers. Here are three of the best sheep and goat cheese brands available in our online store:
1. Albéniz Cured Sheep Cheese
A perfectly aged cheese made with raw sheep’s milk. What does raw milk mean? It’s milk that hasn’t been pasteurized—so it’s not heated above 35ºC. This helps preserve its full flavor.
Our Albéniz cured sheep cheese comes from Navarra, made by Quesos Albéniz, part of the La Vasco Navarro group. It’s a whole piece of 820g, vacuum-packed and perfectly sized for slicing as you wish. With an approximate curing time of 120 days, it has a bold character and a rich, intense aroma and taste.
2. Sharp Organic Goat Cheese
This certified organic cured goat cheese is wedge-shaped, weighs 250 grams, and is vacuum-packed to extend its shelf life. It's considered cured because it matures for more than six months. This wedge is obtained from 2.5 kg pieces.
This organic, cured cheese has a natural rind and is safe to eat. The rind is pale white, with the raised edges created by molding. The cheese has a firm texture both inside and out. The rind has been hardened with oil.
3. Sheep Cheese with Rosemary
We present a sheep cheese made with goat's milk from our own farm. The Fuentillezjos estate produces an exceptional organic goat cheese spiced with honey and rosemary. The estate has 2,000 Manchega sheep, and the animals' pastures and diet are based on natural products grown in a completely natural and organic way. The result is a delicious cheese, which achieves its delicious flavor with nuances of rosemary and honey from the infusion of these "seasonings" into its rind.
