Garrotxa Cheese – 2 lb

Garrotxa is a traditional Catalan goat’s milk cheese that nearly disappeared in the 20th century until a new generation of artisans revived it in the 1980s. Today, it is one of Catalunya’s signature cheeses, prized for its rustic gray rind and rich, balanced flavor.

Sant Gil d’Albió Garrotxa is produced by Josep, a dedicated cheesemaker who began leading his family dairy at just 23 years old. Using high-quality Murciana goat’s milk from local farmers, he crafts a cheese that reflects the landscape and heritage of the region. Aged for 75 days, this semi-firm wheel develops a smooth, creamy texture and a refined flavor profile with nutty, herbal notes and a clean, lingering finish.
