It’s a handcrafted cheese made by the unique cheese factory in the world that in recent years it has received several international awards. Dark greyish colour with hollows, and with thin and hard rind. Whitish colour when cut and showing greenish blue veins and vertical pricking marks.
Smooth texture with rupture elements. It melts easily and it is very soluble in the mouth, not at all adherent.
Intense and complex maturing aroma, with a touch of mold. It confirms the aforementioned in the mouth, together with slightly ticklish sensations perfectly integrated as a whole. Good, smooth, balanced aftertaste with an average to long duration and slightly hot nuances.
