About the Cheese
Payoyo Cheese aged in Oloroso Sherry is a remarkable artisan cheese crafted from 100% Payoya goat's milk, known for its extraordinary quality.
This cheese undergoes a maturation period of 4 to 7 months, during which it is soaked in extra virgin olive oil and Oloroso sherry sauce to enhance its rich flavour and aroma.
The result is a firm-textured cheese with a white hue and an intense flavour profile that concludes with delightful notes of Oloroso sherry.
This innovative cheese has received numerous accolades, including the Super Gold Medal at the World Cheese Awards in 2016 and recognition as a finalist in the Best Cheeses of Spain Championship in 2018.
Enjoy with complex red wines or indeed some oloroso shery for a fabulous experience.
