A Quality Dairy Delight
Hacendado semi-cured sheep cheese is a prominent dairy product in the Mercadona supermarket chain. This cheese, made from sheep’s milk, has earned a well-deserved reputation for its exquisite texture and deep flavor, becoming the favorite choice of consumers who seek quality and tradition in their products.
A Distinctive Ripening Process
This cheese is distinguished by its maturation process, which lasts between three and six months, allowing it to develop a characteristic flavor and a firm but creamy texture. Semi-curing gives it a perfect balance between the softness of a fresh cheese and the complexity of an older cheese, which makes it ideal to enjoy alone or as part of various recipes.
Visual Appeal and Versatility
The cheese features a natural, pale golden rind that protects an ivory-white interior. Its homogeneous paste with small, irregularly distributed eyes is a sign of quality and an indication of a good ripening process. This cheese stands out for its robust and slightly spicy flavor, with nutty notes and a hint of sweetness that make it versatile for use in hot and cold dishes, wine pairings, or as a star ingredient in salads, pastas, and other gourmet dishes.
Nutrition and Commitment to Quality
In addition to its exquisite flavor, this semi-cured sheep’s cheese is rich in high-quality proteins, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, D and B12, essential for general health and well-being. Mercadona is committed to quality, working with local producers to guarantee the authenticity and freshness of the product, which is reflected in customer satisfaction.
Presentation and Price
This exquisite cheese is available in 1 kg presentations, with a price of 12.50 euros per unit. Although it is not the cheapest cheese, its authentic flavor makes it a delicacy worth enjoying.
