Garrotxa

What is Garrotxa Cheese?

Garrotxa is a traditional pasteurized goat's milk cheese from the Garrotxa area of Catalonia in Northern Spain. This semi-firm cheese is aged for 75 days, resulting in a full-bodied flavor and a soft paste with a moist, creamy, yet almost flaky texture. Covered in a velvety grey mold coating that imparts a woody aroma, Garrotxa's flavor is reminiscent of damp earth with subtle nutty and herbal notes. Its milky, delicate taste is quite unlike typical goat cheeses.

Garrotxa pairs well with crusty bread, and nuts, and is best enjoyed with white wines.
