The goat cheese Camembeso, is a cheese made by the dairy Quesos y Besos, responsible for the goat cheese Olavidia, Best cheese in the world in 2021/22 and consequently chosen Best cheese in Spain in 2022.

Camembeso has won the Silver medal at the WCA 24 held in Portugal and was chosen sixth best cheese in the World at the World Cheese Awards 2021-2022.

The Camembeso cheese is a cheese made from pasteurized goat milk, with a white paste and mixed coagulation (made with the lactic bacteria present in the milk and with the addition of traditional rennet). It is presented in a wooden box.

The crust of the Camembeso cheese is fluffy, soft and white in color due to the mold "penicillium camemberti", hence its name.

Inside, just below the crust, we find the richest and most flavorful paste, with a light whitish yellow color and a creamy and melting texture, ending in the central part with a more compact and chalky whitish paste.

The taste of Camembeso is sweet and slightly acidic, with notes of mushrooms and vegetables (yogurt and grass).

The crust has hints of almond, an aroma of wet earth and mold.

It is recommended to consume it alone or with nuts, strawberries, and it pairs very well with white wines.
