Peña Blanca is produced by Los Corrales, in Almedijar, a town in the province of Castellón, which is located in the natural park of the Sierra de Espadán. It is made with [[Unpasteurised|unpasteurised]] [[Ewes|ewes]]’ [[Milk|milk]] and [[Lamb|lamb]] [[Rennet|rennet]] and is matured for least sixty days. It comes in cylinders weighing 2kg.

The [[Cheese|cheese]] is also made from the [[Milk|milk]] of the Guirra, breed of the Valencian Community, but it is in serious danger of extinction. They do not have this milk throughout the year, so production is limited to just 200 [[Cheeses|cheeses]]. These [[Cheeses|cheeses]] have a stronger flavour, peculiar to this breed of [[Sheep|sheep]].

The rind is yellowish-ivory in colour with red and ochre moulds. The interior is semi-soft and ivory white, with very small holes, especially in summer. Depending on the time of maturation, it may have a small dark marking around the rind.

It has a crumbly, yet buttery texture. It has quite a strong aroma of [[Sheep|sheep]] with hints of [[Wild mushrooms|wild mushrooms]] and [[Nuts|nuts]]. The flavour is persistent and acidic, with a powerful, but not aggressive aftertaste
