Queso Ibores

Traditionally produced in the province of Cáceres, Ibores is a semi-soft to semi-hard cheese made from raw milk from the Serrana, Verata, and Retinta goat breeds. Ripened for about 60 days, younger Ibores is creamy, mild, and delicate in flavor with a pronounced nutty finish.

Aged Ibores is semi-hard, more intensely flavored, salty, and even slightly spicy, also with a pronounced nutty finish. Both versions have aromas of goat’s milk, aromatic wild plants, and spices such as Pimentón de la Vera, if the rind was previously rubbed with oil and red peppers.

The versatile Ibores cheese can be paired with a number of different wines: Albariños, Rueda verdejos, young Toro wines, or Manzanilla sherries.
