Queso Tetilla

Queso Tetilla is an aged semi-soft cheese made with the milk of Friesian, Swiss Brown and Rubia Galega cows in the region of Galicia. This cheese, ripened for a minimum of 7 days, has a typical pear-like shape with a pointed top, which is the reason why it's called tetilla, meaning nipple in Spanish.


Its flavor is distinctively mild and buttery, with aromas similar to those of vanilla and walnuts. Queso Tetilla is usually paired with jamón Serrano, chorizo, membrillo, and a glass of wine.
