The cured goat cheese from Monterreña in Ibores is a handmade cheese from Extremadura made with raw goat milk.
The paste of this cured Extremadura goat cheese is smooth, ivory in color, and has a compact, buttery, and moist texture. It has a characteristic goat aroma with a slightly acidic taste, with hints of thyme and rosemary.
The natural rind of the cured goat cheese from Monterreña in Ibores has shades ranging from yellow to ochre, and is smooth and slightly hard.
The Ibores cheese is protected by a designation of origin. Its quality is largely due to the nature of the milk used in its production; it comes from native goats in the area that have lower production but higher nutritional value. By feeding extensively in pasture and woodland, their aroma and flavor are more intense, while also promoting the conservation and protection of the environment.
