Queixo do Cebreiro is a cow’s milk cheese of Galician origin, specifically from the Cebreiro region, in the province of Lugo. This cheese is made by hand and is one of the oldest in Spain, with a history that goes back at least to the 9th century, since the monks who lived in O Cebreiro at that time brought the recipe from France. King Carlos III was a great lover of this cheese, considered one of the best in the world.
Queixo do Cebreiro is produced from raw cow’s milk and comes in a cylindrical shape with a natural, yellowish and hard rind. The paste is soft and creamy, with a smooth and slightly acid flavor. It is usually served as an appetizer or as a dessert, accompanied by bread and honey.
Queixo do Cebreiro has had the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) since 1993, which means that its preparation, production and processing are subject to a set of regulations and specific requirements to guarantee its quality and authenticity.
