Located in:Cheese, Spain
This Catalan goat cheese is one of the most charming cheeses made in Spain. Produced by a small-scale cheesemaker north of Barcelona, this tomme de chevre is virtually unknown in the United States. However, a similar cheese from the area named Pau won the award for outstanding cheese at the Fancy Food Show in New York in 2003. Sant Mateu has a washed-rind and is made from pasteurized milk. Only local goat's milk is used in the manufacture of this fresh (aged for only one to two months) cheese. We love its fruity, slightly herbed flavor and its chalky, yet creamy texture.

Comments about San Mateu:
Hard to remember specifics, I had so many cheeses available at the time, always seemed to choose this one first and now all gone. Wish I had more.
Great taste
