The Fuerteventura Goat
There have always been goats in Fuerteventura. Their presence on the island has been documented since the year 1402 with the arrival of the first European settlers.
Fuerteventura’s native goat is the Majorera, a resistant breed perfectly adapted to our arid climate. It is considered a jewel of the Canary Islands’ livestock due to its dairy importance. It is one of the breeds with the highest milk production of arid areas in the world and is highly appreciated for the quality of its milk, which is dense, aromatic and rich in protein and fat.

Homemade! We hand-pull strands of fresh mozzarella and add our own cultured cream to create this amazing textural stracciatella.
We start by using the best milk that we can find in our area. This means we start making cheese with the freshest milk possible. No artificial colorings, preservatives, or additives are used in the cheese making process of our Camembert, which is all done by hand. This cheese is quite creamy from the start with hint of milky creaminess. As the cheese ripens it develops creamy undertones and buttery characteristics topped off with a nutty mouth feel. MouCo Camembert is fully aged at 7-8 weeks. At this point the cheese flavor is fully complex with butter, creamy and nuts in it`s flavor display. The cheese just begins to flow when left to warm to room temperature.
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.
Manchego is aged for 3 months or longer, and is a semi-firm cheese with a rich golden color. It comes in a 10-inch diameter wheel, 5 inches thick with a herringbone design on the rind. It ranges from mild to sharp, depending on how long it is aged.
