As dark orangey and crumbly as Gouda can get! Having matured for three years or more, this cheese is strong flavoured and almost fudge-like and similar to Parmesan in its consistency.

Resembling a bright orange cushion from the outside this Balearic pale yellow hard cheese is wonderfully aromatic and partially made from the milk of Friesian cows, brought to Menorca over 200 years ago by the British and named after Menorca’s capital Mahon.
