Torta del Casar DOP (PDO) is a Spanish cheese that comes from the Extremadura region, specifically from the town of Casar de Cáceres, its city of origin. The cheese is made using traditional methods from the raw milk of Merino and Entrefina sheep and thistle flower extract. The thistle flower rennet imparts a unique earthy and herbal undertone to the cheese.
The cheese has a creamy and spreadable consistency. The interior is soft and semi-liquid, making it an ideal cheese for scooping with a spoon or spreading on bread. The rind of Torta del Casar is thin and typically reddish-brown in colour. It is often enjoyed spread on bread or crackers. The cheese pairs well with red wines or sweet wines.
This cheese was awarded "Super Gold" at the World Cheese Awards 2019.
