Cheeses
La Retorta De Queso is an artisanal cheese produced by Quesería Finca Pascualete, a renowned cheese maker in Spain. This particular cheese is known for its creamy, spreadable texture and unique flavor profile.
It is made using raw sheep's milk and a natural vegetable rennet derived from thistles, which gives it a distinct vegetal bitterness and a rich, complex taste. La Retorta De Queso is often enjoyed spread on bread or crackers and pairs well with fine wines.
The cheese is meticulously crafted using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations, ensuring high quality and authenticity.
Producer
Finca Pascualete is a family-owned farm and cheese producer located in the Extremadura region of southwestern Spain. The farm spans over 4,000 hectares, making it one of the largest private estates in the southeastern part of Spain.
Their Merino sheep graze freely, enjoying a diverse diet that includes various types of trees, natural grasses, wildflowers, and native plants such as rosemary, thyme, and juniper. This type of grazing contributes to the unique flavor and quality of their cheeses. All Finca Pascualete cheeses are handcrafted and completely organic, made from raw sheep’s milk sourced from their own flock.
Their range of cheeses includes several varieties, with La Retorta De Queso being the most famous. This creamy, semi-soft cheese has a unique shape and rich, intense flavor, thanks to traditional production methods and the special diet of the sheep.
