Located in: Cheese, Spain

Malagon with Rosemary is a Spanish cheese made in the style of the Dénomination de Origin (D.O.) cheese, Manchego. It is produced in the La Mancha in Central Spain from 100% sheep's milk, just as Manchego and many other Spanish cheeses are. Sheep thrive on the dry, rocky terrain of Spain by grazing on the abundance of wild herbs that cover the countryside. Malagon with Rosemary combines one of the most prevalent herbs of the Spanish countryside, rosemary, with rich sheep's milk cheese. After a period of aging, the rosemary that is pressed into the rind of the cheese imparts a wonderful flavor into the cheese. The herbs also lend the wheels a rustic, natural appearance.

Made from unpasteurized sheep's milk. The rind is rubbed with butter and rosemary.

Comments about Malagon with Rosemary:

This is one of my favorite cheeses. I love good things, I love good cheese. I can tell the difference between a lesser and a nicer wine. I didn't know if it was just that I liked the interplay of the rosemary and the firm rich flavorful cheese, but I brought this to share at lunch and the response was the other cheeses(all nice cheeses) were good but this one "redefines what cheese is" followed by "can I bring some home for my wife and where can I get this".

Can't stop eating this, once I've begun ! Introduced to the variety in local Cuban Restaurant, Cuba Libre, and dashed right home to order some from iGourmet - BETTER than the Restaurant's.

High Quality

Comments about Malagon with Rosemary:

This is not a cheese to serve to a large gathering or where the array of other food choices is expansive.

This is a cheese to share with an intimate group. It should be the centerpiece. There is a strong sense of rosemary that will draw immediate responses (it will either be thumbs up or thumbs down; there won't be any in between). So, the host needs to have a blander cheese on hand for the thumbs down guest(s). Because this cheese is so full-bodied, it needs a plain-tasting cracker so as not to interfere with the cheese's flavor.
