Queso De Murcia

The Queso de Murcia PDO is a cheese made from the milk of Murciana breed of goats.

After filtering, animal rennet and other authorised enzymes are added to the milk. The curdling process takes place at a temperature slightly higher than that for the production of fresh cheese; and for the seasoned variety, the process of curdling is even longer. In the case of fresh cheese, the curd, after a light compression, is put into moulds with plait engraving. On the other hand, the seasoned cheese is put into moulds without engravings and compressed for 2-4 hours to give a harder consistency.
