Cheese with PDO
An example of the best Canarian goat’s milk cheese, made by a ‘Majorero’ goat herders cooperative. Awarded “Best Cheese of Spain” at the 2007 Official Competition of the Ministry of Agriculture.
HISTORY
The island of Fuerteventura, in the southeastern end of the Canary Islands and in front of the African Sahara, is the largest of the archipelago and that's why it was known as Majorata where the ‘Majorero’ came from. Here is the cradle of one of the great goat breeds of the world - the Majorera - with the milk of which this multi-award winning cheese is made. With PDO since 1996.
TASTING NOTES
Long and deep flavor, very creamy and aromatic. Perfect to accompany young white wines or barrel fermented.
