Torta del Casar Virgen del Prado - Third Best Cheese of the World 19-20

Torta del Casar Virgen del Prado is a cheese from Extremadura made from raw sheep's milk, handmade following the tradition of the shepherds of yesteryear. It is one of the most sought-after and recognized cheeses in Spanish gastronomy and has a Denomination of Origin.

Our torta del Casar de Virgen del Prado has an intense and developed flavor; slightly salty, it stands out for its slightly bitter touch, as a result of the vegetable rennet used in its production. The paste has a soft consistency, with a white to yellowish tone

Moderate to high creamy texture, melting on the palate and smooth or no granularity

The semi-hard and defined rind of this Extremaduran cheese, differentiated from the paste, presents uniform ochre tones without the addition of colorants.

La Quesería Doña Francisca, which produces this torta del casar, is located in Casar de Cáceres (the most renowned municipality in terms of its production): a land rich in natural spaces and ecological variety that provides top quality raw materials. They preserve the traditional cheese making techniques and apply new ones, which allows them to have a great variety of cheeses.

The Torta del Casar Virgen del Prado became the third best cheese in the World in the edition of the World Cheese Awards 2019 . To this incredible award joins all those achieved by this cake in recent years.
