Other cheese
In the foothills of the Sierra de Grazalema we find a Payoya goat’s milk and Merino ewe’s milk artesanal dairy that makes the typical local ewe’s milk sheep in butter.
HISTORY
José Luis Holgado is a young agricultural expert who since 2007 has inherited the family farm of Payoya goats and Merino Grazalemeñas sheep to craft hand-pressed and uncooked pate cheeses, semi-aged to aged, which are typical of the area. Since then, his cheeses have evolved and achieved deserved prestige, like the aged ewe’s milk cheeses smeared in Iberian lard - a typical practice of the area.
TASTING NOTES
Powerful flavor, developed but elegant, very oily in the mouth with the aromas of Iberian lard. Pairs very well with white wines, young sherries and Amontillados.
