Taste and aroma: Slightly acid aroma reminiscent of sheep's milk, with notes of butter and nuts. It leaves a pleasant oily sensation in the mouth. It has a slight tang that gradually becomes noticeable. The taste and aroma persist for a long time.

Storing and enjoying your cheese

Tips for savoring all the aroma and flavor of this cheese:

Keep it in a cool, dry place between 2º and 8º C (you can use the lower part of your refrigerator).
Serve it at room temperature.
After cutting the cheese, store it immediately in the refrigerator in a hermetically sealed plastic container along with a piece of dry bread. The bread will absorb moisture and protect the cheese from mold and excessive drying. Replace the bread when it is covered with mold.
