Cebreiro cheese PDO Cured
According to the general history of the Kingdom of Galicia from 1750, written by P. Seguín, Cebreiro cheese is defined as ‘with the best tastes and one of the most delicate in the world’. So much so, that there was a time when the weekly shipment of Cebreiro cheese was available for consumption in the Royal House. Curiously, when the year 1989 arrived, it is surprising that very few people knew about it. This has changed in recent years thanks to the work of small artisan cheesemakers who have recovered the original recipe from oblivion, of which only one of them has managed to make cured Cebreiro cheese. Cured Cebreiro cheese, unique in the world, is a pasteurized cow’s milk cheese with a soft paste and moldy rind that currently has a Protected Designation of Origin. Its texture in the mouth is fine and unctuous, somewhat adherent to the palate. It has a lactic smell, with notes of citrus and mushrooms. Its flavor is intense, slightly salty, somewhat acid (citrus) and sweet at the same time (cream) with a final aftertaste of dried fruit. It is made without additives or preservatives and has a characteristic mushroom shape.
