This semi-cured goat cheese is handcrafted by Collados Quesería. It is extraordinary if you enjoy mild cheeses, but with an unmistakable and incomparable flavor. The traditional process is used, manually pressing it with a knotted cloth, giving it its characteristic shape. It then matures in the cellar for about 45 days, to achieve the texture and flavor that will make you fall in love with it at first sight.
The goats graze freely, at the foot of the Sierra de la Sagra, Granada at over 1,700m above sea level. This is essential to obtain a unique and high-quality milk. Made in Spain Gourmet always guarantees you the best of Spanish gastronomy.

How do they make their cheese?
They start with 100% milk from Granada Murciano goats, wonderful goats that graze happily (essential for the flavors of their beloved cheeses). Then they curdle the milk and transform it into a new product: cheese. At each step, the raw material is always of the highest quality. They follow the traditional production process, to which they have added the necessary technological advances to ensure a top-quality product. One of the key moments in the process is fermentation, where the magic happens. The maturation of their cheeses ranges from 4 weeks to 8. The wait is worth it. From such a careful production process and such high-quality raw materials, the end product is excellent: pressed paste cheeses with a tender rind and a hint of creaminess. If we add to that the fact that consuming goat's milk and its derivatives reduces cholesterol, promotes the absorption of fats, proteins, calcium, and minerals, we have more than enough reasons to cut ourselves another piece of this wonderful cheese. Because where there is cheese, there is happiness.
The goats from Collados Cheese Factory, of the highest quality
Because the cheese from Collados Cheese Factory is artisanal and comes from goats. And not just any goats, but the envy of goats, the ones that live freely in the Sierra de la Sagra, north of the province of Granada. This mountain range has always been a haven for goat herds. The fact that the goats graze happily on its slopes ensures that the milk they produce is of the highest quality. And this is the basis for the production of their artisanal cheese.
They have goats of all types, some pose for photos like true influencers, some never stop moving all day (up the slope, down the slope), and some love to eat gourmet pastures.
High-quality raw materials
The farmers, in addition to being lovers of their work, are responsible for selecting their best specimens for breeding and milk production, thus maintaining the highest quality in our cheeses. They have always chosen to use the best raw materials, which is why the goats in their herds are certified for organic production. They grow in a sustainable and peaceful environment, feeding on pastures. One of their premises is respect for the environment and the welfare of the animals.
