Formentera is an incredibly tasty [[unpasteurised]] goats’ or ewes' [[milk]] [[cheese]] from the Balearic Island of the same name. It is a scarce product that is still made by peasant women using artisan methods. Production is very small and basically done for self-consumption. The [[milk]] is curdled with thistle flower which is known as “l´herba de formatjar” (the [[cheese]] [[herb]]), manually pressed and salted when dry. <br />
<br />
There are two types of [[cheese]]. Fresh [[cheese]] with a maturation period of no more than ten days and cured [[cheese]] which matures for over thirty days. The thistle flower must be collected and this is always done on Sant Joan (Saint John’s) day- the flowers are collected, left to dry and stored so they are available throughout the year. Once the thistle flower has been collected, it is placed in a container with water all night long to soften. Then it is ground and the juice is extracted and mixed with the [[milk]] in order to make [[cheese]].<br />
