“Youth is not a period of life, but a state of mind.” Each of the phrases that Oscar Wilde's pen has written is loaded with a deeper meaning than it seems to have at first glance. And that is why we pay tribute to him, for representing the values of youth and maturity, all at the same time, like today's society.

Cerrato VIEJOVEN is a cheese made from a mixture of pasteurized cow's and raw sheep's milk, a firm, light yellow paste and small, irregularly distributed eyes. Despite its youth, it has an intense flavor, being balanced in salt and acidity, with aromas of cava. Persistent in the mouth with a high aftertaste, where spicy notes stand out in the background, leaving that final sensation of “mmmm… how tasty this cheese is, it looks young but hides an old.”

Cerrato VIEJOVEN, a young cheese with an old taste, that is spicy but not stinging. A cheese that you like or don't like.
