The Tender Lactose-Free and Low Salt Sheep Cheese is the youngest and newest of the Campoestrella family. Young because it has been matured for less than a month and we have also ensured that its lactose content is totally suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
Pasteurized sheep’s milk
To make this sheep’s cheese we have followed the artisanal steps with which our shepherds used to obtain their cheeses. The pasteurization of the milk allows us to consume this sheep’s cheese practically five days after its production.
Selected lamb rennet
The natural milk, a correct lowering of the Ph in the presses, a short period of time in brine (water with salt in a concentration of 21%) and the absence of fats and proteins external to the sheep’s milk itself is the consequence of this cheese in the analysis and quality control, which Quesería la Antigua de Fuentesaúco is made in fully certified laboratories, a real jewel for the palates of people who suffer from lactose intolerance.
Its natural white bark
With the traditional Zamora cheese girth design, it hides small eyes evenly distributed throughout the cut.
Short maturation period
The aroma it gives off is totally fresh milk. The elasticity and flexibility of a wedge of this cheese suggests that the ideal cut to serve it as a tapa would be in square cubes, although we can cut it into small wedges or very thin slices for the grill or for sandwiches.
Cheese preservation
The ideal temperature for the cheese is the cellar temperature, between 10º and 12º C, and a high humidity (80 – 85%).
It is preferable to keep the cheese cold rather than at room temperature (local), since in the heat it begins to “sweat”, losing fat and drying out. As the cold of the refrigerator is a dry cold, it is convenient to keep it in a tapper inside the refrigerator, since the cold absorbs the humidity of the cheese.
The following storage temperatures are recommended for the different types of dough or texture:
– Hard paste cheeses: 8-12 ºC
– Soft and blue-veined cheeses: 4-8 ºC.
– Fresh cheeses: from 2 to 4º C
The right pairing
Pairing cheese is not a complicated task but it requires some basic knowledge of the type of cheese, type of milk, ripening, etc.
