Story
Sometimes confused with Queso del Tietas, Monte-enebro is a semi-soft, pasteurized goat’s cheese from Castilla-Leon in Spain. All the milk use in production comes from local herds. The cheesemaker Rafael Báez uses penicilium roqueforti to coat the exterior of the cheese in blue mould adding the complexity of the cheese flavour and distinctive rind. This flavourfulcheese is a recent, but welcome addition to the pantheon of Spanish cheese.
Producer
It was created by Rafael Báez in the Val del Tietar. This remarkable man only began making cheese in 1982, at the age of 64! Under the tutelage of one of the most important cheesemakers in Spain, Enric Canut, Rafael gradually developed the award-winning Monte Enebro. This wonderful cheese has enjoyed great success on export markets both in Europe and the USA. The business is now run by Rafael’s daughter
