Characterized by it’s dusty gray rind, Garrotxa is the most famous cheese in Catalonia. Cheese maker Josep of Can Pejol pays homage to the small production methods of the original recipe, which almost disappeared in the mid 1900s due to changes in farming policies. It’s an approachable crowd-pleasing cheese, with hints of roasted almonds, and cellar.

Fourth generation cheesemaker Javier and his wife make this teardrop shaped cheese in their home in Lugo, Galicia, which also doubles as a cheese plant. It’s a tiny operation with only 4 employes, and the care with which this award-winning cheese is made shows. Javier waits until the end of the process to smoke the cheese with birch wood for up to 90 minutes. It develops a lovely caramel colored exterior, a golden interior with tiny eyes and a subtle smoked flavor. Javier says the aroma reminds his customers of a time gone by, when their food was cooked over a wood-fired flame. We couldn’t agree more.
