The cheese made in this area can be produced from the milk of cows, goats or ewes, but the different sources are never mixed together. Nowadays, almost all the Beyos cheeses are produced from cow’s milk.

Morning milk is mixed with evening milk. Rennet is added to help with clotting and it is left to drain naturally. Once it is ready the moulds are placed on the shelves of a smoking room. Finally, they are left in a dry, ventilated area to mature for between 15 days and 3 months

The cheese is semi-hard, weighs 500 grams, and has a dry, rough creamy, yellow rind. It has a mild aroma and a slightly acid, but soft flavour. If it has holes, it is a sign that the milk was at too high a temperature and not strained properly, causing the cheese not to hold together.
