Milk from Churra and Castilian ewes. Coagulation with rennet at 28-32°C for 30-45 minutes; dry or brine salting; matured and stored for at least one hundred days.
This province is the primary producer of ewe's milk in Spain; the flocks graze on the area's bare plateaux and wooded pastures; the continental climate favours plant growth, resulting in an end
