Leonora - Mitica *Third of a Pound*

Leonora - Mitica, Third of a Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of Leonora. A soft ripened goat cheese from León in Spain, a cousin of the French Búcheron, sold as a square block with a crumbly, fudgy paste.

Why you'll love it

• Spanish goat cheese — made in León from pasteurized goat's milk, with the bright acidity of a young Spanish cheese.
• Cousin of Búcheron — the same soft ripened goat style as the French original, but in a square block rather than a log.
• Peppery finish — strong peppery notes that turn into a clean, bright acidity at the end.
• Crumbly and fudgy — the paste breaks into soft crumbs while still feeling dense and fudgy on the tongue.
• Third of a pound — cut from the block in third of a pound pieces.

How to enjoy The producer suggests Albariño or Cava, and both are good calls. Serve it with honey, figs or a handful of Marcona almonds, or crumble it over a salad.

Spain's answer to Búcheron: tangier, a little more peppery, and just as easy to like.
