Garrotxa
Garrotxa is a traditional goat's milk cheese produced in the Garrotxa area of Cataluna in Northern Spain. It was almost extinct when some young cheesemakers revived it in 1981. Since then it has become a popular cheese among artisanal cheesemakers.
Garrotxa is a semi-firm cheese aged for 75 days. The full-bodied cheese is rich in flavour with a moist, creamy, yet almost flaky, texture. It is covered by a velvety grey mould coating that lends it a earthy aroma. The flavour is earthy, herbaceous and honeyed. Its milky, delicate taste is not at all typical of a goat’s cheese.t was almost extinct when some young cheesemakers revived it in 1981.
