| The famous cheese from Galicia, made from pasteurised cows milk, shaped to resemble a womans breast. (D.O. Galicia) Weighing a minimum of 900g, it is pale creamy white in colour, with a soft consistency and small, regularly distributed holes. It has a smooth, mild, almost buttery flavour. Excellent as a breakfast cheese, in cooking for stuffings or as a melted cheese; it is classically eaten with Membrillo, the quince jelly. To drink: a young, fresh white or light red Rioja. |
