Description

Semi-Cured Mahón-Menorca DOP Cheese 1/4

Semi-Cured Mahón-Menorca DOP Cheese in 1/4 format is made with raw cow’s milk and matured for approximately 2 to 3 months. It reflects the traditional character of Menorcan cheese, with a buttery, melting texture, good solubility on the palate and the distinctive salty touch of this protected designation.

The rind is treated with olive oil and paprika, giving the cheese its traditional Mahón-Menorca appearance. The 1/4 format is suitable for cheese boards, family consumption, gourmet tastings and food service.

Tasting notes

It has a clean, milky and fruity aroma. At first, it is slightly acidic, with buttery notes and hints of damp cellar on the rind. On the palate, it is very buttery, slightly adhesive and has a pleasant melting character. Its texture shows fine granularity, with a light grainy sensation.

The first impression is marked by pleasant acidity, combined with buttery notes and a finish reminiscent of nuts, especially raw hazelnut, together with the characteristic salty touch of Mahón-Menorca cheese.
