About Monte Enebro cheese

Monte Enebro is perhaps Spain’s greatest goats’ milk cheese. Made by Rafael Baez and his daughter Paloma, in Ávila, it is produced in limited numbers of about 7,000 a year.

The milk is pasteurised and the unusually creamy cheese is hand-made. It has a subtle acidity and a very white interior. The mouldy rind is caused by the same mould used to produce Roquefort.

At the cheese matures, its texture becomes denser and the taste more pungent. It is shaped like an elongated circle.
