Urgelia - Cadi *Half Pound*

Urgelia - Cadi, Half Pound

Urgelia comes from the Catalan Pyrenees in Spain and has graced our shop for many years. It has a slightly pungent rind that can run dry or tacky, a supple semi firm paste speckled with small holes, and a creamy mouthfeel with a pleasant lactic sweetness.

Why you'll love it

• A shop fixture — we have carried it for years, and it has earned that spot.
• Washed rind — slightly pungent on the outside, dry to tacky depending on the wheel.
• Small holes, supple paste — semi firm but yielding, with the open texture of a well made farmhouse cheese.
• Creamy and lactic — sweet cultured milk flavor rather than sharpness.
• Friesian cow's milk — pasteurized milk from Friesian cows in the Catalan Pyrenees.

How to enjoy Slice it for a board with chorizo and membrillo, melt it on bread, or eat it with a Rioja. It is flexible enough to be the utility cheese at a party.

A steady, likable Pyrenean cheese that has been on our shelf for years for good reason.
