Product Description
In the Navarra region of the Spanish Pyrenees, lies the Roncal Valley. Seven villages make up this valley and control the production and marketing of the first Spanish name-controlled cheese, Roncal. Record of this cheeses production dates back as far as the thirteenth century, when the citizens of these towns worked together to raise sheep and to tend horses and the forests of the Pyrenees. Each year they would herd their flocks up the mountains to the high pastures in the spring, and each fall they would lead them back down and take their products to market. Roncal is still a product of the fresh mountain air, and it still made from raw sheeps milk. It is ripened slowly over the course of several months to develop a rustic, nutty and olivey flavor and a moist, smooth texture.

Spanish Cheese October 9, 2008
Sandra Dovali (Albany, California)
After watching Jose Andres on PBS making something with Roncal cheese - I was on a quest to find it. igourmet has an excellent selection on Spanish cheeses. I thought the shipping and handling was a little high but believe me it was worth it!
