Olive oil and cheese, a delicious and juicy combination

We present to you one of our favorite cheeses, the aged cheese in olive oil by Ciudad de Sansueña. With an intense flavor and the juiciness provided by the olive oil, we assure you that you will fall in love with this cheese from the moment you open the jar and start taking out the cubes.

It is made using select raw sheep's milk from Spain, following a traditional recipe. The milk is thermized and unpasteurized to preserve all its natural and organoleptic properties. It acquires its characteristic color during the 11 months of maturation in the chambers. The result is a natural, unique, and healthy product that will delight our senses.

It comes presented in a beautiful bag with a ribbon, making it an original gift option. With this cheese, you will add a different and delicious touch to your Spanish cheese board!

 

How to pair the Cheese in Olive Oil?

For an authentic experience, we recommend eating it by spearing each cheese cube with a toothpick to pick it up and savor it. 

We recommend eating it with crusty bread or crackers like Picos Camperos. Pair it with grapes and, as with any good aged cheese, a sweet touch will be fantastic. You can achieve this by combining it with honey with nuts.

We also suggest a recipe for an authentic Spanish tapa: this cheese is perfect for creating your own skewers by spearing cheese cubes and membrillo quince paste on a toothpick.

And one more thing. Please, do not throw away the oil once you finish the cheese! Use it to make a Spanish tortilla with a cheesy touch or to dip bread with an anchovy on top. Be creative; there are many ways to use it!

From Zamora, Spain

The company's origins are undoubtedly rooted in a great enthusiasm. Located in Santibáñez de Vidriales, in the Benavente y Los Valles area of the Zamora province, the company was founded in 1995 by Juan Uña Prieto, a veterinarian by profession. He decided to create a small cheese factory to process the milk from his family's flock of sheep.

Juan's passion for sheep and cheese has been present since his birth, as his family has been dedicated to shepherding for several generations.

Soon, the initial factory facilities became insufficient, and the milk from the family flock was not enough to meet the growing demand for cheese. This led the company to undertake a series of expansions over the years, resulting in the current facilities of approximately 7500 square meters with modern machinery. In fact, in 2022, the company received the award for technological innovation from the Zamora Chamber of Commerce. This modern machinery perfectly complements traditional production methods.

Juan has always sought a balance between quality and modernity, consistently supporting innovations and technological advancements that enhance the quality of the product.

Different from any cheese I've tried before. The flavor and juiciness imparted by the oil are spectacular. I used the oil to marinate another Manchego cheese cut into cubes.
