Monte Enebro is handmade in Avila, Spain, by legendary cheesemaker Rafael Baez and his daughter Paloma. The Baezs make their complex goat's milk cheese from pasteurized milk and innoculate the logs with the same mold used to make Roquefort, adding to Monte Enebro's complexity and distinctive appearance. Aged 30-45 days in the Sierra del Gredos mountains, Monte Enebro is creamy, lemony and slightly acidic; as it ages, the texture becomes denser and the flavor acquires more intense, pungent finish.
