Mixed milk

This unusual cheese has a sweet flavour and a texture very like fudge. This is achieved by caremelising the surplus whey of cows' and goats' milk from butter-making, and then adding cream or more milk.

Made in the Picos de Europa mountains in Northern Spain from a blend of goat's and cow's milk. Matured in caves for at least three months the cheese is wrapped in maple or chestnut leaves and has a very strong, spicy flavour.
