It is a cheese of pressed paste mixed with raw sheep’s milk, goat milk and cow milk cured for minimum 3 months. The paste is of ivory color, with a firm texture but intense and creamy. The depth and complexity of flavour depend on the age, but with a rich taste that reminds of nuts and caramel over a slightly salty final taste. Its flavour is intense and balanced with dairy tastes, intense smell and firm, nice, creamy texture on the palate.
The characteristic rind between beige and yellow colour is coated with mold so that washing and brushing of cheese is a necessary process.
