QUESO TETILLA
Tetilla is a typical
Galician cheese made from the herd of Friesians and Alpine Brown's cows. Since 1992, it has been one of the four kinds of cheese that received DOP
recognition. The name Tetilla is Galician for “small breast”, which describes
the shape of the cheese – a pear-shaped cone topped by a nipple.
This cheese has a pale yellow, thin, natural
rind, or sometimes no rind can be seen at all. Its texture is soft, thick and
smooth with scatterings of air pockets. Yellowish ivory in colour Tetilla has a
creamy mouthfeel with buttery, slightly bitter and tangy flavours surrounding
the palate. The maturing, which takes place between 10 and 30 days, happens in
the hot and humid climate of Galicia
STORAGE:
Keep refrigerated at 4°C to 8°C
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Try Tetilla with a dry full-bodied wine, sherry, young whites, manzanilla and especially the Galician whites - Albariño or Ribeiro. It is lovely with quince paste, fruit, crackers, baked dishes, and bread.
