Caña de Oveja
May 11th, 2009 | by tb |
Caña de Oveja is made in Murcia in southeast Spain from ewe’s milk by Central Quesera Montesinos. Caña de Oveja comes in a log and has a bloomy rind, which is somewhat ununsual for an ewe’s milk cheese. The cheese ripens from the outside to the inside, resulting in a gooey layer immediately under the rind, with a white firm and crumbly interior. This results in an unusual and interesting combination of flavors and textures.
The outer layer is creamy and has a texture and taste similar to a soft, wash-rind cheese (mushroom, earthy, barnyardy flavors and aromas), while the interior is like a typical goat cheese with a fresh and tangy taste. This is a great cheese that offers a wonderful combination of flavors, aromas, and textures. Highly recommeded if you find it.
