queso de Mahón
Queso de Mahón is a traditional cheese from the island of Menorca in the Balearic Islands, Spain. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its distinctive orange rind, which is often achieved through the use of paprika. The cheese has a firm texture and a rich, nutty flavor that can vary depending on its aging process, which can range from a few months to over a year.
This cheese is typically produced in small, artisanal batches, reflecting the island's long-standing cheese-making traditions. Queso de Mahón is often enjoyed on its own, paired with bread or fruit, and is also used in various culinary dishes, showcasing its versatility in Mediterranean cuisine.
