Another of the most popular types of cheese in Spanish gastronomy is the semi-cured cheese, a middle point between the soft texture of fresh cheese and the intense flavors of cured cheese. For a cheese to be “semi-cured” it must have matured for at least 35 days. These cheeses are usually made from cow’s, goat’s or sheep’s milk.

In the case of sheep’s milk, it should be noted that it is much richer in fat and protein. This milk has a lower water content, which makes the famous sheep’s milk cheeses have a more intense, creamy and aromatic flavor. These cheeses are characterized by their slightly acidic, salty and buttery taste, in addition to the multiple benefits they offer to our health, such as their high mineral and vitamin content and their easy digestibility.

At Enrique Tomás, you can choose between semi-cured cow, sheep or goat cheeses or cured sheep cheese cured for more than six months. If you are a cheese lover, they will surely be the ideal complement for one of those boards of different varieties that you like so much. And if you prefer, you can use them as an accompaniment to a good plate of ham or a board of delicious Iberian cured meats. Discover our variety of cheeses destined to make you enjoy eating.
