In the Canary Islands, cheese is an art form steeped in quality, tradition, artisanal craftsmanship, and innovation, garnering numerous international awards<\/em><\/h3>\n

Cheese is one of the jewels of Canarian gastronomy, appreciated by so many that there is little left for export. It is so beloved, in fact, that it boasts the highest cheese consumption per inhabitant in Spain and the most artisan cheesemakers per square metre in Europe.
\nThis deep-rooted love for cheese is woven into the very fabric of Canarian culture, and in recent years there has been a surge in its popularity and potential. Not only are more and more artisan cheesemakers popping up across the islands, but the focus on quality, recognition and innovation is stronger than ever.
\nThe Canary Islands have three Protected Denominations of Origin: PDO Queso Palmero, PDO Queso Majorero and PDO Queso de Flor de Gu\u00eda, which include the Gran Canarian municipalities of Santa Mar\u00eda de Gu\u00eda, G\u00e1ldar and Moya. However, exceptional cheeses can be found throughout the islands, many of which have received international awards.
\nIn recent years, a wave of creativity and innovation has seen Canarian cheesemakers experiment with methods and flavours. Some have started to produce creamy cheeses infused with herbs and spices, flavoured butters and other delicious Canarian specialities like almogrote.
\nOne unusual creation is a semi-soft cheese macerated in prickly pear juice with a striking, fuchsia-coloured rind. Depending on the dairy, it is made with pure goat’s milk or with goat\u2019s milk and cow’s milk combined. It has a delightful, creamy but firm texture. As you cut into it, the mildly tangy taste of the goat\u2019s cheese blends with the sweetness of the prickly pear to create a delicious and unique flavour combination.
\nAnother standout product is the semi-cured cheese matured in red wine. It boasts a pleasingly firm texture, the rich, enjoyable notes of goat’s milk, and a balanced acidity. Its creaminess and lingering aftertaste are complemented by the subtle flavour of red wine, revealed by its purple-red rind.
\nFurther innovative creations include herby cheeses with rosemary, oregano, cinnamon, thyme and basil. And fruity cheeses flavoured with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, crushed raspberries, red fruits, or even macadamia nuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
