Cheese Mena was born in 2017 as a family-owned and completely artisanal cheese factory, where cheeses are pampered and crafted one by one from the beginning to the end of the process. This is what allows us to guarantee high quality.

Aged cheese made with pasteurized milk from Florida goats, enzyme coagulation, pressed paste, without additives or preservatives, and salted in brine. It has a minimum aging of 45 days in a cellar, being refined from 30 days with a mixture of lard and smoked and spicy paprika on its rind. During this time, it is turned over successively to achieve uniform aging.

AGING TIME:

More than 45 days

TEXTURE AND COLOR:

In its exterior appearance, it has a cylindrical shape with a semi-hard to hard rind and a red color creating a very striking contrast to the white interior. The rind is completely edible. In the interior, it has a closed paste without eyes, white in color, firm texture, slightly elastic, becoming fragile in longer maturations.
