Guides to Spanish cheese by milk type, maturation, texture, production method, region and quality scheme. We bring together explanations of fresh, young, mature and blue cheese, rinds, rennet, cultures, salting, moisture and ripening, alongside PDO and PGI guides such as Manchego, Cabrales, Idiazabal, Majorero and Torta del Casar.
