Located in: Cheese, Spain

Tradition lies at the heart of such delights as Tetilla Cheese, which is made in the farming and dairy producing land of Galicia. The pride of the land where it was created, the secret of this cow's milk cheese has been passed down from generation to generation. This soft cheese is hand formed into the shape of a woman's nippled breast. In Spain, people revere this cheese and assert that it "tastes like kisses". It has an elastic, creamy texture and a mild, tangy flavor. The public image and presence of Tetilla Cheese makes it one of the most original products of the Galician dairy industry. Tetilla is a D.O. cheese, meaning that its production is controlled by the Spanish Government, a status reserved for only select "Quesos Tradicionales." Please call if you would like to order an uncut two pound unit.

This gorgeous cheese is quite a show stopper on the buffet table, particularly in its uncut form. Sweet, creamy but not in any way bland it is wonderful eaten as is, or with any number of accompaniments. It also melts beautifully.
