San Simón Cheese D.O.P

San Simón Cheese D.O.P.: The Unmistakable Smoked Flavor of Galicia

San Simón da Costa Cheese, protected by the Denomination of Origin (D.O.P.), is a dairy jewel from the province of Lugo. It is distinguished by its conical or bullet shape and, above all, by its smoking process, which gives it a unique and elegant flavor profile.

Origin and Authenticity (D.O.P.):

• Galician Milk: It is made with whole pasteurized milk from Galician cows raised in the DOP area, naturally fed with forages and pastures.
• Aging and Texture: It is a semi-cured cheese aged for a minimum of 30 days, developing a firm paste, pale yellow in color, and buttery texture.
• The Unique Smoking: The master touch comes from the smoking. This process is carried out using exclusively birch wood, which imparts a soft, elegant, and persistent aroma and flavor that you won't find in any other cheese.

🍴 Tasting and Pairing Tips

1. Temper: Remove the cheese from the refrigerator at least 20 minutes before serving so that its smoky nuances and texture can fully express themselves.
2. Classic Pairing: The smoky flavor of San Simón pairs perfectly with young red wines from Galicia, such as a Mencía or a red from Monterrei. If you prefer white, a full-bodied Albariño or Godello is an excellent choice.
3. In Recipes: It is ideal for grating over pasta dishes, melting in risottos, or as a star ingredient in toasts.
