Zamorano DOP
by Marques del Castillo. Product of Castile-Leon, Spain.
Nomadic shepherds have been making Zamorano for centuries. It is a firm cheese made from the raw milk of Castellano and/or Churra sheep and takes its name from Zamora, an ancient city that sits on the banks of the Duero River. Zamorano has a less grainy texture than Manchego but the same herringbone imprint on the rind. It is slightly piquant and full flavored with a nutty finish, and can be mildly gamey and earthy.
Pairs fantastically with a Crianza red or a peppery Tempranillo.
Ingredients: raw churra and castellana sheep's milk, salt, animal rennet, lysozyme (from egg). CONTAINS: MILK.
We ship perishable items in thermo-insulated cardboard boxes with reusable ice packs to insure that you food items arrive in good shape.
All cheeses we slice to order and wrap in cheese paper as we want you to enjoy original flavor of cheese - not damaged by vacuum or plastic.
All meats which require slicing we slice to order and lay it out on wax paper (deli-style) so it is easy to separate slices. Then we pack it in a plastic pouch with nitrogen purge (again, to make it easy to separate pieces we don't vacuum the meats but use commercial style food grade inert gas mix).
