🧀 Ronkari PDO Roncal cheese: cured pure sheep's cheese
When you look for a good Roncal cheese, you want real sheep's milk and an origin you can trace. Ronkari PDO Roncal cured pure sheep's cheese is made with raw milk from Latxa sheep in the Roncal Valley, in Navarre, and aged for up to 8 months (the PDO rules require a minimum of 4). The result is a firm, ivory-white paste with small pores and no eyes, with a robust, buttery flavour and a slightly spicy touch.
🏔️ A cheese with history: Spain's first PDO
Roncal was the first Spanish cheese with a designation of origin, recognised in 1981. Ronkari is the sheep's cheese brand of Grupo TGT, a family cheese company that started in 1963, and it is made in the Roncal Valley itself.
