Torta de la Serena

Spain, Extremadura

The milk is from a flock of Merino sheep of the Serena areaand the grazing area is interesting as the vegetation is sparse, yet despite this, there is a rich and varied flora for the animals to graze. The unpasteurised milk has a natural thistle flower as coagulant and is aged 65 days to give a soft, creamy texture with the rind brine-washed and encircled with cloth. The flavours are spicy and strong with a real spiky herbal sharpness which would partner Rioja with plenty of tannins.
