Quesería La Antigua’s Sheep Milk Cheese with Tempranillo Raisins is part of their charming Caprichos de la Pastora collection—small jars inspired by the shepherdess’s end-of-day indulgence: a handful of richly flavored cheese enjoyed after tending the flock. This playful, nostalgic concept comes to life in a modern format, offering ready-to-enjoy cubes of cured sheep’s milk cheese paired with plump, sweet Tempranillo raisins.
The cheese itself is Manchego-like in style, crafted from raw sheep’s milk and cured for four to six months to achieve a rich, oily, and buttery texture. Its savory depth and gentle tang provide the perfect counterpoint to the wine-soaked sweetness of Tempranillo raisins. Each bite balances salty, fruity, creamy, and chewy elements—an irresistible little treat designed for snacking, gifting, and effortless entertaining.
Shelf-stable and beautifully presented in a glass jar, it’s an ideal addition to Spanish-themed gift baskets or tapas spreads. Enjoy it with Iberico ham, fig or quince preserves, or simply alongside crusty bread. Naturally, it shines brightest when paired with Spanish wine—especially Tempranillo, which echoes the flavor of the raisins.
- Pairings: Tempranillo or Garnacha; jamón Ibérico, fig jam, Marcona almonds, or crusty bread.
Ingredients: Sheep milk, natural rennet, lysozyme, lactic ferments, salt, raisin D.O. Malaga.
