Appearance: The interior has a yellow and golden paste with ivory tones typical of Manchegan sheep's milk. There are a few small fermentative eyes distributed throughout the cheese.

Aroma: The smell is reminiscent of sheep's milk; sweet and warm, with hints of cooked butter and toasted and cinnamon tones. There are also hints of mould from the maturing cellars.

Flavour: The flavour is sweet and pleasant, with slight caramelised marks typical of fermented and matured sheep's milk. As it warms up in the mouth, we can appreciate very aromatic floral hints.
