San Simon Da Costa

Surrounded to the west and north by the Atlantic Ocean and by mountains from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, Galicia has always been a remote region of Spain. This isolation fostered an ancient cheese culture. Here the Galicia cows graze on the lush green pastures and bear milk that its people have been making into cheese for generations. San Simon P.D.O. is made from pasteurized milk of the Rubia, Gallega, Pardo-Alpina and Frisona cow breeds. It is a semi-soft rather elastic paste cheese with a hard, smooth, birch-smoked rind.
