Tronchón cheese

Tronchón cheese

Tronchón is a semi-hard cheese produced from a mixture of goats’ and ewes’ milk in the Maestrazgo areas of the provinces of Teruel (Aragón) and Castellón (Comunidad Valencia).

The cheese, which is very popular in Spain, has a smooth, buttery, aromatic fresh flavour and a springy, creamy texture with several small holes. In some ways, it is similar to a young Caerphilly and has a bone-white interior and a smooth, butter-coloured rind.

Sold in various degrees of maturity, the cheese’s appearance is that of a fat cylinder that has been punched in on the top. It was mentioned in Cervantes’ Don Quixote.
