LA ANTIGUA CREAMY SHEEP CHEESE 12x250gr
It is not the torta del casar, it is not just any creamy cheese, it is the best creamy cheese in the world. A cheese that has won 7 international awards. This creamy sheep cheese is made differently from the rest of our cheeses. The secret lies in the rennet we use for its production, the vegetable rennet, obtained from the flower of the wild thistle Cynara Cardunculus. Thanks to the coagulating properties of the thistle flower, used for years by our shepherd ancestors, today we can achieve a majestic cheese where the paste has turned into cream. In the past, it was cheaper to collect thistle flowers than to obtain animal rennet and, moreover, it was usually the shepherd himself who had to produce his own rennet, with the vegetable one being easier to preserve. The vegetable rennet is capable of respecting all the aromatic characteristics of the best raw material, fresh sheep's milk, giving the cheese bitter nuances in the mouth that make it irresistible and addictive. It has a semi-hard rind, with a color between yellow and ochre. The paste ranges from soft to spreadable, from white to yellowish, with a closed cut, but soft and creamy.
