The aged D.O.P Zamorano Vellón cheese from Fuentesaúco is the epitome of traditional Spanish sheep cheese. Made from raw milk from native breeds like Churra and Castellana, this cheese is aged for over 12 months, giving it unmatched aromatic richness and flavor depth. Its refinement with extra virgin olive oil enhances its character, providing notable complexity and a lingering aftertaste. Its texture is firm and slightly crumbly, with a yellowish ivory color and small eyes, and its deep aroma is filled with notes of mature milk and nuts. Recommended to pair with full-bodied or reserve red wines, this cheese is not only a delight but also a benchmark of Zamora’s culinary tradition and a testament to the commitment to artisanal manufacturing methods. Ideal for gourmet boards or special moments, be sure to take it out of the refrigerator 45-60 minutes before consuming for maximum flavor and aroma potential. Store it between 2ºC and 8ºC and, once opened, keep it well-wrapped.
