Queso Palmero
Queso Palmero is a ‘Denominación de Origen Protegida’ goats' milk cheese produced in the Canary Islands on the isles of La Palma and Sta. Cruz de Tenerife.
It has a cylindrical appearance, and its height is between between 6 and 15 cm with a diameter of 12 to 60 cm. The rind is white, becoming darker as it matures and the name of the producer is stamped onto the top. The cheese has a firm, but elastic texture, although there may be small irregular holes. It had a shiny, white-ish appearance.
The flavour of goat’s milk is immediately recognisable and it can have a scent of hay, mushrooms or nuts. The smoked variety also reveals the presence of the natural materials used in processing ie. almond shells, pine needles or the dry spine of prickly pears. It has a slight acidity and a salty and sweet aftertaste.
Palmero cheese is sold as young (matured 8 to 20 days), semi-mature (21 to 60 days) and mature (from 60 days). There are two varieties of Queso Palmero. The artisan cheese like weighs less than 8 pounds and has a burgundy label, while the non-artisan cheese is heavier and has a green label.
