When most people think of the Rioja region of Spain, the quintessential Spanish red comes to mind. Lacteos Martinez also shares this space in this beautiful region. Started by their parents in 1961 in Haro, La Rioja, today, it is run by their four sons. They collect high quality milk from local farms and make cheese using traditional methods. Their mixed milk cheese uses a minimum of 60% cow's milk, 20% sheep's milk, and 6% goat's milk. It is aged 6 months, during which it is rubbed with olive oil, developing a beautiful natural rind. The paste is light yellow with small eyes and has strong vegetal and peppery aromas. Upon tasting, it is well balanced with a pleasant acidity. It's an endlessly snackable, truly delicious cheese that surprises with a long finish. Grab a bottle of Rioja, fresh bread, olives and almonds, and you have the perfect cheese board.
