Finca Pascualete Mini Retorta Cheese

Description

Made by Finca Pascualete and established since the 13th Century, this Spanish torta cheese is made from unpasturised sheep’s milk with nothing other than the addition of salt and thistle rennet, making it suitable for vegetarians. The sheep graze on the wild pastures of Extremadura which imparts a floral herbacious flavour to the cheese.

The cheese is creamy, almost liquid, with an ivory colour and a powerful flavour and aroma.

Soft, unctuous and creamy, Finca Pascualete Retorta cheese is best eaten by cutting of the top and spooning out the creamy paste onto some toasted sourdough.
