Named for its home region, Leonora is a prime example of the recent renaissance in Spanish cheesemaking. Oscar Fernando Marcos Gonzalez created the soft-ripened, brick-shaped cheese, loosely basing it on a traditional cheese from Galicia known as Babia and Laciana. He sources his milk from 2 farms, always from Murciana goats, and helps create the cheese signature bright, lemony flavor through the process of lactic fermentation. The lush cheese balances complexity, acidity, and richness, with a mushroomy creamline that develops as the cheese ripens.
Leonora is a softripened, brickshaped cheese from mountains of Len in northwestern Spain. Popular among cheese lovers because, while young, it expresses the delicious freshness of goats milk and develops a mushroomy, creamy complexity as it ripens.
