Located in: Cheese, Spain

Majorero, a large cheese with a beautifully decorated rind, is made from unpasteurized goat's milk, and can be sold fresh or cured. Our Majorero is cured. It has a lively acidity and a slight piquancy on the palate. It is creamy with a mouth-watering, long-lasting flavor. The beautiful island of Feurteventura in the Canary Islands is the home of Majorero. The cheese is delicious with a variety of Spanish wines. See our Serving suggestions for possible pairings.

Majoreo has been awarded as Best Hard D.O. cheese at the 2005 World Cheese Awards held during the International Food & Drink Exhibition (IFE) in London, England, March 2005.

Made from unpasteurized goat's milk.

Comments about Majorero:

This is the first time I've tried this cheese and I was pleasently surprised. It is a little dry, which is fine with me as it is a hard cheese and has a nice tang to it. Oh, let's just face it, I'm hopelessly in love with goat cheese. Haven't tasted a bad one yet and this is no exception. If you like your cheese with a little nip to it, you will love this.

Comments about Majorero:

No special uses in my household; just consumed. It is pungent to the tastebuds and its taste remains in the mouth after, much like a prized wine lingers to delight. Impressive cheese. A palat-ial delight.

Comments about Majorero:

i bought this cheese for the first time last december, and like it so much that i recently bought some more to use when hosting my book club next week. i did not realize, before tasting this cheese, that a goat cheese could be this firm, and easily used to make toasted cheese sandwiches. for the book club i'll use majorero in an hors d'hoeuvre, on a cracker, probably with kalamata olives; i haven't decided yet :)
