Mitica Campo Montalban Cheese, 6 lb

Mitica Campo Montalban Cheese is a masterful blend of Spanish cheesemaking heritage and modern artistry. Crafted by the Corcuera family, this unique cheese originated from a tradition of resourcefulness, transforming surplus milk into a product of exceptional quality. What sets Campo Montalban apart is its blend of cow, goat, and sheep’s milk—each contributing distinct notes to the cheese’s character. With a minimum of 40% sheep and goat’s milk, it achieves a complexity rarely found in mixed-milk cheeses. Aged for 100 days, the result is a firm, sliceable wheel with a caramel and annatto-colored, inedible rind that hints at the richness within.

On the palate, Campo Montalban unfolds in layers: the creaminess of cow’s milk, the earthiness of sheep’s milk, and the subtle tang of goat’s milk. Its balanced flavor profile and semi-firm texture make it a versatile choice for cheese boards, slicing, or melting over rustic breads and roasted vegetables. The cheese’s nuanced taste allows you to appreciate the terroir of its Spanish origins, with each bite revealing the harmony of its blended milks.

For a memorable serving suggestion, enjoy Campo Montalban Cheese alongside quince paste, Marcona almonds, and a glass of Spanish red wine. Its complexity and depth make it an excellent centerpiece for gatherings or a refined addition to everyday meals. This cheese invites you to explore the artistry of Spanish cheesemaking, one slice at a time.
