Majorero

Majorero cheese is also known as Queso Fuerteventura since it is made from the unpasteurized milk of Majorera goats on the island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. This semi-hard cheese with nutty and milky flavor has been granted the PDO certification (Protected Designation of origin). The pale white-colored cheese is creamy, buttery in texture with an acidic taste. When aged, it develops a dark-colored rind that is rubbed with Spanish paprika (pimenton de la Vera).
