The Majorero Maxorata cheese is one of the most rooted, valued, and representative foods of the Canary Islands gastronomy. It is an exceptional Canarian cheese, a symbol of Fuerteventura, which was the first goat cheese to obtain the Designation of Origin. It was named Best Cheese of the Canary Islands 2022 and won the gold medal at the 2020 World Cheese Awards and the best cured Goat cheese in Spain in 2021. It is a pasteurized cured goat cheese that comes from the native goat of Fuerteventura, the Majorera goat, which owes its name to the island of Fuerteventura (Maxorata in pre-Hispanic times), since its inhabitants are called "majoreros". It is a creamy, ivory-colored, lactic, slightly acidic cheese with a paprika-coated rind. The Canarian Majorero Maxorata cheese respects the artisan tradition, is made with great care, and is endorsed by the quality of the milk produced only by the best farmers in Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria. And if you want to experiment with this cheese, we leave you below fantastic recipes prepared by the chef José Rojano (a reference in the Canary Islands and winner of Three Repsol Suns) and the renowned Canarian chef Ale de la Nuez: https://www.maxorata.es/chef-jose-rojano/ https://www.maxorata.es/chef-ale-de-la-nuez/
