History and Origin of Olavidia Cheese
Olavidia from “Quesos y Besos” , winner of the 2018 Best Cheeses of Spain Championship, is an artisanal cheese made in Guarromán, Jaén. It is produced in a small dairy using milk from Malaga goats that graze freely in the mountains.
This cheese, with a lactic curd and a square shape, incorporates food ash (vegetable charcoal), which gives it a distinctive character. Its texture is soft and creamy, while its smooth flavour leaves a more intense aftertaste in the mouth because it is made with goat's milk. A rare cheese in the province of Jaén that has managed to be crowned the best in Spain.
