Mitica
| Los Cameros Rosemary Tomme, produced by Lácteos Martínez in Haro, La Rioja, Spain, exemplifies the artisanal evolution of Spanish mixed-milk cheeses ("Queso de Mezcla") with a precise blend of 60% cow, 20% sheep, and 6% goat milk. Its maturation involves pasteurization, natural rind development, olive oil baths, and a rosemary coating that infuses flavor while preserving the cheese. Known for its firm texture, herbaceous aroma, and dynamic flavor profile, it pairs well with Rioja wines and craft beers. The cheese holds multiple World Cheese Awards and is marketed in North America as Mitica, embodying the "Silent Luxury" philosophy and Riojan terroir. | |
