Savel is a raw cow’s milk cheese produced by Airas Moniz in Galicia, Spain, and represents a refined, modern interpretation of regional dairy tradition. Made from milk sourced from a single local herd, the cheese is gently coagulated and aged to preserve both purity of milk and textural elegance.

Savel is characterized by a soft, supple paste that becomes increasingly creamy toward the center as it matures, while the rind remains natural and understated. Aromatically, it offers clean lactic notes with subtle hints of butter, yogurt and fresh pasture.

On the palate, the flavor is delicate yet expressive, combining freshness with a mild savory depth and a smooth, lingering finish. The balance between acidity and creaminess makes it approachable but far from simplistic.

Savel is best enjoyed at room temperature, either on its own or with neutral accompaniments that allow its texture and milk character to stand out. It pairs well with fresh white wines or light, mineral-driven styles.

This cheese reflects Airas Moniz’s philosophy of precision, restraint and respect for raw milk, emphasizing clarity over intensity.
