Son Vives Mature Cheese 1/8 PDO Mahón-Menorca
Son Vives Mature Cheese 1/8 PDO Mahón-Menorca is an artisan cheese made in Menorca with raw cow’s milk, following the island’s traditional cheesemaking methods. It is presented in a practical 1/8 wedge format, ideal for enjoying at home, preparing cheese boards or pairing with gourmet products.
An artisan mature cheese from Menorca
Son Vives produces Mahón-Menorca cheese using traditional methods, respecting the character of the island and the natural ageing process. This mature cheese stands out for its firm texture, intense aroma and persistent flavour, with the distinctive nuances of cheeses made from raw milk.
During maturation, the rind is treated with olive oil and paprika, a traditional practice that helps protect the cheese and contributes to its characteristic aroma and appearance.
Ageing and tasting notes
This cheese has an approximate ageing period of 5 to 8 months. On the nose, it shows medium-high intensity, with notes of clean leather, gentle animal aromas and hints of ageing cellar.
On the palate, it is fruity and elegant, with notes of mature butter, dried fruits and a well-integrated acidity. When chewed, it still retains a pleasant creaminess, although the paste is firmer due to its maturation. Its flavour is persistent, with a light spicy aftertaste, saline notes and a finish reminiscent of dried almond.
