Cana de Oveja | Local Cheese From Region of Murcia, Spain | TasteAtlas

Cana de Oveja

Cana de Oveja is a traditional soft-ripened cheese hailing from Murcia. The cheese is made from pasteurized sheep's milk and it's similar to the French Bucheron because it also comes in the shape of a log. Underneath its bloomy rind, the texture of Cana de Oveja is crumbly, buttery, and flaky.


The aromas are buttery, while the flavors are tangy and creamy. The cheese is left to age for 21 days, and as it ages, the aromas and flavors intensify. It's recommended to pair it with a glass of white wine and some almonds on the side.
