Tenerife cheese
Tenerife is fresh or matured cheese, made from pasteurised goats’ milk on the island of the same name in the Canary Islands. The cheese is completely white, with a compact interior and a somewhat moist, spongy texture. It has a natural rind.
The flavour of the cheese is sweet, slightly salty, fatty and very palatable. In contrast, the mature version has deep, rich flavours, due to being matured for at least 2 months and has a good buttery, and nutty taste of hazelnuts and fresh mushrooms. Also, depending on the maturation period the cheese can be smeared with paprika or gofio, a flour created by grinding roasted sweetcorn.
