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.

🏅 Quality Guarantee

Our San Simón Cheese strictly complies with all standards of the D.O.P. San Simón da Costa, guaranteeing the origin of the milk, the traditional production process (pressed paste), and the smoking with birch wood. You will receive a 1kg cheese with maximum freshness and quality.

🍴 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.
