Aged Goat Cheese Sudao (half wheel)

The cured Sudao goat cheese is a cheese from Extremadura artisanally made with raw goat milk, lactic ferments, animal rennet, and salt. This cheese does not contain gluten. This goat cheese has been artisanally made with raw milk from their own herds of Retinta and Serrana breeds and aged on wooden boards for more than two months. The cheese has a smooth and soft ivory white paste, with a fatty character and no graininess. The tender, buttery, and compact texture of this cured goat cheese melts in the mouth. Some eyes can be observed in the cut due to its aging. It has a slightly salty but intense flavor, with a milky taste and moderate acidity. The cheese's semi-hard natural rind is ochre in color, with two particularities: the presence of mold (from Penicillium candidum) and rubbed with olive oil. Regarding the smell and taste of this cured "Sudao" goat cheese: its smell is intense and aromatic, its taste is strong and intense, as expected in a goat cheese, but it surprises with its excellent natural flavor and above all, it melts in the mouth like cream, very well balanced in salt. This cured goat cheese comes from Quesería Arte Serena, producers of "Cremositos del Zujar," a cheese that won the Best Cheese in Spain in 2023 and 2019. This dairy has won numerous awards internationally and nationally for many of its cheeses. This land rich in natural spaces and ecological diversity produces Extremaduran cheeses with top-quality raw materials.
