Cheese - Garrotxa

DESCRIPTION This Catalonian cheese is semi-firm with hints of sweet, peppery flavor notes.  A traditional cheese that almost went extinct several decades ago, it has since come roaring back in popularity.  With its stark white, pasty flesh and grey outer rind, it's aged for 2 to 3 months.  This allows it to have that beautiful balance of flavor and rubbery texture only possible in younger cheeses.  To find out more about Garrotxa click here!   ORIGIN Spain   MILK TYPE Goat   RAW MILK OR PASTEURIZED? Pasteurized   STORAGE TIPS Refrigerate preferably in its own drawer close to where most of the produce is kept.  After each time that you slice the cheese, re-wrap it with fresh plastic wrap to extend the shelf life.  While some chefs will freeze a slice of blue and then grate it over a salad before serving, Chef's Mandala doesn't recommend freezing cheeses in general.   PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED THIS ALSO PURCHASED Cheese Plate By Cheese Type - Rochetta and Humboldt Fog By Origin - Valdeon a
