Blue sheep's cheese, Masiega, Granja Cantagrullas

Not rated

Masiega is a bold soft blue sheep's cheese from the Granja Cantagrullas farm in Ramiro, Valladolid (Castile and León).
It is made from unpasteurised milk of Assaf and Castellana sheep and develops characteristic blue veining and an intense flavour with notes of mushroom, salt and pepper during ageing.
Ageing first takes place in a warm, humid chamber for 4-5 weeks, after which the cheese is wrapped in foil to complete its aroma and texture. Masiega is bold in its own right, ideal for pairing with full-bodied beers, red wines, whisky, bourbon or sherry, and represents a unique product of traditional Castilian sheep's milk, made with care and an emphasis on quality.

Masiega is a soft, blue sheep's cheese with an intense aroma and flavour, in which notes of mushroom, salt and pepper stand out. Its characteristic blue-mould cavities are created by heterofermentative bacteria, which produce gas during ageing.

The cheese first ages in a chamber with high humidity and a temperature of around 11°C for 4 to 5 weeks. The temperature is then lowered and the cheese is wrapped in foil, which completes its ageing and develops its full aromatic profile. The total ageing period is 3-4 months.

Masiega is bold in its own right, so it is recommended to pair it with full-bodied beers, red wines, whisky, bourbon or sherry (Oloroso).

The cheese is made from unpasteurised milk of Assaf and Castellana sheep and comes from the Granja Cantagrullas farm in Ramiro, Valladolid. The company was founded by Asela and Rubén ten years ago with the aim of adding value to milk from Castilian sheep. Today it produces half a dozen different cheeses, each batch bringing unique and distinct products.
