Located in:Cheese, Spain
Tronchon is a very small village in the southeastern part of Spain's wild and mountainous Teruel province. The town and its surrounding area has an age-old tradition of raising sheep and goats in mixed herds. This tradition led to the creation of Tronchon cheese, which is made from a blend of goat, sheep and cow's milk. This uniquely volcano-shaped cheese is beautiful and delicious. With its smooth, buttery, fresh flavor and springy texture, Tronchon is a longtime family favorite in Spain. It goes great with green Spanish olives and a fruity red Rioja.

Comments about Tronchon:
This is my favorite cheese [...]. I keep ordering it time after time. It is rich and creamy and just totally delicious. I eat it on ham sandwiches (ham from igourmet too) and just munch on slices while watching TV. You can put it on crackers and it's delicious. Try this [...] and if you are a cheeseophile like me, they will not disappoint.

Very good quality cheese. Excellent for pairing with a good chardonay. Starts off mild but finishes with a slight punch.
