The process begins with pasteurising the milk and coagulating it with rennet, after which the curd is shaped and, for the harder versions, pressed to give it a compact structure. This is followed by ageing under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, during which the cheeses develop their characteristic texture, aromatic rind and full flavour. The whole process combines traditional recipes with modern hygiene standards, ensuring the authentic flavour and high quality of La Pasiega de Peña Pelada products.
