Ronkari
Ronkari is a cured sheep's cheese with PDO Roncal, made with raw milk from Latxa sheep in the Roncal Valley (Navarre).
🧀 Ronkari: cured sheep's cheese from the Roncal Valley
Ronkari is a cured sheep's cheese with the Roncal Protected Designation of Origin. It is made with raw milk from Latxa sheep in the Roncal Valley, in Navarre, and it is signed by Grupo TGT, a family cheese company that started out in 1963. It is a pure sheep's cheese, the kind you notice in every slice.
🏔️ The PDO Roncal, Spain's first cheese with a designation of origin
Roncal was the first Spanish cheese with a designation of origin, recognised in 1981. The rules require a minimum of 4 months of ageing, and Ronkari is aged for up to 8 months. Cut it and you will see a firm, ivory-white paste with small pores and no eyes; the flavour is robust, buttery and slightly spicy.
🍷 How to enjoy Ronkari cheese
Take it out of the fridge a little while before serving so it releases its full aroma, and cut it into thin slices or small pieces. It goes very well with sweet things such as quince paste, jam or grapes. To drink, a dry, crisp Spanish white wine or an aged Spanish red wine works wonderfully, and on a board it looks great next to Iberian ham.
