Mitica Campo Montalban Cheese, 6 lb

Mitica Campo Montalban Cheese is a testament to Spanish cheese artistry, crafted by the Corcuera family with a dedication to quality and tradition. Born from the need to utilize excess milk, Campo Montalban stands apart due to its unique blend of cow, goat, and sheep’s milk—each contributing a distinct character to the final product. The cheese is aged for 100 days, allowing the flavors of the three milks to meld and mature, creating a layered profile that is both nuanced and memorable. Before Manchego’s DOP designation, this cheese was even considered a Manchego, but its mixed milk composition now gives it a personality all its own.

Upon slicing, the firm, ivory paste reveals subtle aromas and a smooth, creamy texture that carries the tang of goat’s milk, the richness of sheep’s milk, and the mellow undertones of cow’s milk. The caramel and annatto-colored rind is inedible, but it protects the cheese as it develops its complex flavor. Campo Montalban’s versatility shines on cheese boards, where its multi-layered taste pairs beautifully with quince paste, Marcona almonds, or a glass of Rioja. It also elevates simple tapas, melts elegantly over roasted vegetables, or brings depth to a rustic sandwich.

Whether you are curating a Spanish-inspired feast or seeking a centerpiece for your next gathering, Mitica Campo Montalban Cheese offers a world-class cheese experience. Its balance of tradition and innovation makes it a must-try for cheese aficionados and adventurous palates alike.
