Cheese, Spain
Mahon is produced on the Mediterranean island of Menorca in the Balearics. Although it is a small island, Menorca produces enough cheese to make Mahon Spain's second most popular cheese next to Manchego. A 100% cow's milk cheese, Mahon comes in large squares of about six pounds. Ripened in underground caves for at least 60 days, Mahon has a bold, magnificent flavor that could never be called mild. The yellowish-orange rind conceals a soft, slightly salty and decidedly spicy interior. This unique cheese is a must try for any cheese lover and an absolute necessity for the true connoisseur.
- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
- Photo depicts whole 7 lb. form of cheese.
- We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.

One of my new favorites, this is a great-tasting firm cheese that I like to eat by itself or grated on soups or pasta. It's not sour or bitter, it's perfect!

Comments about Mahon:
The more I eat, the more I like it! It has been an addictive snack for me that doesn't grab you right away, but rather pulls you in bite by tasty bite. I recommend thin slices or small chunks.
