Quesería El Bosqueño
The last shepherd cheesemaker in the Grazalema sierra
A pastoral cheese house working 210 payoya goats, an endangered Andalusian breed kept alive by three farmers in the whole comarca. At 1,040 metres the curd is set every morning with raw milk. Ageing runs from three to eighteen months depending on the wheel.
“The payoya feeds on whatever the mountain offers. In October the milk tastes of rosemary; in April, of rockrose. The cheese simply tells the story.”
