We’re excited to introduce our newest raw milk find from Spain! This “Sacred Dame” is produced using Murciana goat’s milk in the town of Carpio de Tajo, just outside of Toledo. The goats belong to a cooperative of farmers who also are members of the dairy that make the cheese. They believe in aging the cheese a minimum of 6 months to accentuate the best features of the cheese, which has a full flavor (sweet and grassy) and great protein formation.
Campo de Montalban is a mixed-milk cheese, containing roughly sixty percent cow`s milk with the remainder comprised of goat`s and sheep`s milks. It was originally considered a Manchego, but in 1985 the AOC standards for Manchego were changed to mandate 100 percent sheep’s milk. As Campo de Montalban is mixed-milk, its name was changed to reflect its home region. Made in the town of La Puebla de Montalban, its name translates to `the fields of Montalban.
