Matured at a low temperature for about 5-6 days, it acquires a creamier texture than traditional Pasiego cheese.

The paste is very soft, sometimes semi-liquid, ivory white in color, with no eyes or rind. The aroma is mild, lactic (yogurt and butter). The mouthfeel is smooth and melts in the mouth. The flavor is mild, slightly salty, and has a very pronounced acidic note (yogurt). The aftertaste is of fresh butter or sweet cream, with very subtle citrus hints.

Otros Datos

Originally cylindrical, it takes on an irregular, cake-like shape during ripening. Its velvety rind has an ash-gray color with bluish-gray tones speckled with white and orange mold. These molds grow naturally, giving the cheese its characteristic complexity.

Notas

When cut, the paste is soft, ivory-white, and has a few irregularly distributed eyes. It has a medium-intensity aroma, slightly acidic with notes of butter and mold. On the palate, its complexity develops vegetal (mushrooms, cabbage, nuts), animal (meat), and earthy notes.

On the palate, it is soft and not at all elastic; very buttery, with a mild, slightly salty, and acidic flavor. Reminiscent of yogurt and sweet cream. Buttery aftertaste.
