Menorca Cheese is an ideal present.

There are two types of Menorcan cheese that can be distinguished according to the initial treatment of the milk that is used:

Mahón-Menorca cheese: made with pasteurized milk that has been processed and/or treated in order to conserve it in authorized industrial dairies.

Artisan Mahón-Menorca cheese: made with unheated milk in authorizedartisan dairies.

Menorca’s Denominación de Origencheeses vary according to their degree of maturation and these levels can be categorized in three ways:

TIERNO – a smooth cheese with a yellow/white colour and thin, soft and elastic crust. A lactic aroma with a mild hint of butter and light acidic characteristics. (21-60 days).

SEMI – an unmistakably characteristic cheese with a compact rind that will vary from pale yellow (typical of young cheeses) to orange/brown if it is artisan.

Firm and easy to cut, this ivory/yellow cheese will darken as it matures and features a variable number of small, unevenly distributed holes. The taste is mild, slightly salty and acidic with hints of butter and roasted hazelnuts. (2-5 months).

Curado

CURADO – A delight for cheese lovers with a firm, hard and notably less elastic texture and a reddish rind. Once in the advanced stages of maturation, this cheese becomes more brittle and flaky when cut.

These cheeses have a complex and intense aroma and a salty, woody, leathery taste that lingers long in the mouth. (5 months)
