Zamorano Cheese

Sheepy Cheese

Recently I started my affair with Zamorano. So far it has taken twenty bucks to get my fill of this heavenly sheep's milk cheese. And I would gladly spend another twenty... and another... and another.

It has a very pasture like flavor when compared to cow's milk cheese. The taste of the great out doors works its way deep into the complexity of this cheese. And for being a hard cheese it is rather easy to slice and doesn't require cooking or thin slicing to get a good texture.

I like it right out of the fridge while it is still nice and cold. Others might like to let it set out for a little while so that it becomes a little softer. But it will never be as hard or crumbly as Parmasian or other hard cheeses. Instead it is easy to slice like Manchego and never grainy in texture.

And yet I have found that it is perfect for the kitchen too. It has that medium melting point that makes it great for a grilled cheese or something a little more challenging like a pasta dish.

You can find this cheese at Whole Foods for around 19 dollars a pound. It is usually cut into chunks that ring up for around four to five dollars. And those chunks of cheese can go a long way when used as a snack or even in the kitchen for a supper dish.

This cheese is worth a try. And it is a great cheese to start expanding your cheese palate.
