Cheese with PDO
The Canary Island of La Palma does not have a single industrial dairy. All of the island’s cheese production is artisanal with herds seasonally moving between fixed summer and winter pastures (transhumance).
HISTORY

The island of La Palma, in the extreme northwest of the Canary Islands, is the rainiest and steepest, with an extinct volcano that reaches 2,400 meters of altitude. Throughout the island, from sea level and up to 2,000 meters, the goat herders practise transhumance,  seasonally following the grass. Weekly cheese collectors pick, group, mature and sell them after two weeks of maturation. With DOP since 2001.

 
TASTING NOTES

Young to semi-aged cheese, with a mild, milky, sweet and rich flavor, suitable to accompany red wines of short or medium aging.
