Queso de Leyva is a hard artisan [[cheese]] produced from 100% unpasteurised ewes’ [[milk]] by Ignacio Miranda de Leyva and his father at La Finca Castañuelo in Guadix (Granada). The [[milk]] used comes only from their own flock of sheep.

Matured for 65-70 days, the [[cheese]] has a rich and creamy yet mild flavour and is an adaptation of a recipe for [[Calahorra cheese|Calahorra]], another local [[cheese]]. It is produced in small cylinders weighing 1 kg and 1.4 kg and is also available in half-rounds of 500 g and 700 g. It is also sold encased in [[olive oil]].

The [[cheese]] is not available in the UK but can be purchased from Iain MacDonald and Gayle Hartley of '''[http://www.orceserranohams.com Orce Serrano Hams]''' who are based in Orce (Granada).
