"Queixo do País" made by hand with raw milk from Galician blonde cows and aged for 60 days.

It is a super creamy cheese, with a very soft texture, that has notes of milk and butter and light acidic nuances on the palate. A cheese that is smooth in the mouth, but has the intense aromas and flavors characteristic of raw milk.

The great virtue of raw cow's milk is that it makes each cheese unique. To make this one, Maricarmen and her family use milk from Sobrado (Arzúa, A Coruña), where their uncles have two small dairy farms. They do not mix the morning and evening milk: "cows eat forage and straw at night and grass during the day, so the milk is different". For a cheese with more acidity and prominence of that raw milk, they use the milk milked at the end of the day.

Due to its slight acidic point, it works wonders with sweet fruits or quince. Pair it with a white wine like our Godello Pascuala.
