Queso Payoyo Traditional Spanish Aged Cheese

Payoyo Semi Curado is an artisanal Spanish mixed-milk cheese produced in the Sierra de Grazalema region of Andalucía using a blend of Payoya goat’s milk and sheep’s milk. Crafted by Quesos Payoyo, the cheese is aged to a semi-cured stage, developing greater depth and complexity while maintaining a smooth, approachable texture. The paste is firm yet creamy, with notes of toasted nuts, sweet cream, browned butter, and subtle herbaceous tang from the goat’s milk. Balanced and versatile, it pairs beautifully with charcuterie, Marcona almonds, quince paste, and Spanish wines.
