The Dehesa Dos Hermanas cheese dairy
Dehesa Dos Hermanas is a farm and cheese dairy in the Andévalo area of Huelva, in Santa Bárbara de Casa. It should not be confused with the town of Dos Hermanas in Seville. On the farm they raise their own Lacaune sheep and make the cheese with freshly milked raw milk. According to the dairy, it was the first sheep farm in Spain to obtain the AENOR Animal Welfare certificate.
What the cured cheese is like
It is a hard pressed cheese with a natural rind, aged for more than 9 months. It has a firm, crumbly texture and an intense, slightly spicy flavour that lingers on the palate. The dairy has won several awards, including medals at the World Cheese Awards.
Other ageing options
If you prefer a milder cheese, try the semi-cured Dehesa Dos Hermanas sheep cheese. More in our cheeses section.
