Queso Mahón – Menorcan Cow's Milk Cheese DOP

The signature cheese of Menorca — buttery cow's milk with a touch of sea salt. Mahón DOP comes from the Balearic island of Menorca, where the sea breeze gives the pastures (and the cheese) a faintly salty character. Its orange rind hides a firm, buttery paste with citrus and butter notes.

• DOP-protected cow's milk cheese from Menorca
• Firm, buttery paste with a subtle salty-citrus tang
• Versatile — great on a board, grated, or melted
• ~5 lb piece

Ships cold-packed with insulation and gel packs to preserve freshness in transit — cold shipping is included in the price.

Storing & Serving

On arrival: unwrap from the shipping packaging and refrigerate — the vegetable drawer is ideal. Before serving: take it out 30 to 45 minutes ahead. Cold cheese is closed off; at room temperature the paste softens and the flavor actually arrives. Storing: wrap in wax paper or parchment, never plastic wrap — cheese needs to breathe.
