CERRATO VIEJOVEN

queso cerrato viejoven

“Youth is not a period of life, but a state of mind”. Each of the phrases written by Oscar Wilde’s pen is loaded with a deeper meaning than it initially appears to have. And for this reason, we pay tribute to him for representing the values of youth and maturity all at once, much like today’s society.

Despite its youthfulness, it possesses an intense flavor, balanced in saltiness and acidity, accompanied by notes reminiscent of champagne.

Ingredients

Pasteurized cow’s milk, raw sheep’s milk, salt, rennet, lactic ferments.
