Garrotxa has become representative of cheese from Catalunya as it is the best known cheese of the region. Its production was revived in the 1980s after nearly disappearing. Sant Gil d’Albió Garrotxa is made by Josep, who took over the family business at the young age of 23 and has worked with us for nearly two decades. He partners with local goat farmers to collect milk for his signature cheese, which has improved year after year. Garroxta is characterized by its natural grey mold rind, and features depth of unique flavors; a goaty tang and layers of delicate herbal and earthy nuances that is influenced by its 75 day aging process. Full-bodied and flavorful with a long, smooth finish, there are strong hints of nuts and herbs. This particular cheese has great depth and balance of flavor with brightness from the fresh milk. Mold blooms on the rind are a feature, not a bug! The cheese is also known as "Pell Florida," which means "blooming skin" in Catalan.
