Artisan Cheese Grei de Breogán

The Grei de Breogán Cheese is an excellent example of the cheesemaking mastery of Queixos Brigantia. Unlike soft cheeses, this semi-cured cheese offers a more developed flavor experience without reaching the intensity of a fully cured cheese.

• Taste Profile: It presents an authentic and powerful flavor, with matured notes and the characteristic touch of Galician cow's milk. It is a balanced cheese, ideal for lovers of dairy flavor who seek something beyond fresh.
• Texture: With a compact and firm paste (typical of semi-cured), it maintains a notable creaminess and a good melting capacity.
• Origin: Traditionally made in Galicia with the best cow's milk, ensuring its artisanal quality.

🥛 Production and Aging Process

The name 'Grei' (which means 'king' in Galician) fits this cheese that reigns on the tables of the area:

• Semi-Cured Cow Cheese: It has undergone an aging process that gives it a more solid texture and concentrated flavor while maintaining creaminess on the palate.
• Simple Ingredients: Made with natural ingredients (pasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt, and lactic ferments), respecting the purity of the product.
• Ideal for Recipes: Its consistency makes it perfect for cutting into wedges, grating, or melting, adding a distinctive touch to stews and sauces.

🍽️ Tasting and Pairing Tips

Having more body than a soft cheese, the Grei de Breogán opens a new range of pairings:

1. On a Platter: It is excellent on its own, accompanied by good sourdough bread and a few walnuts or almonds.
2. Wine Pairing: It pairs perfectly with Galician red wines from Mencía of the D.O. Ribeira Sacra (young or lightly aged), as their fruity notes and subtle acidity balance the intensity of the cheese. It also goes well with a full-bodied white.
3. In the Kitchen: Use it to stuff pork tenderloins, in gratins, or on a toast spread with a touch of extra virgin olive oil.
4. Temperature: Serve at room temperature to release all its matured aromas.
