San Simón DOP cheese is produced in the remote region of Galicia, Spain. It is produced from pasteurized milk of the Rubia, Gallega, Pardo-Alpina and Frisona cow breeds and gently smoked over birch wood for two weeks. This process results in a buttery, soft cheese with a mild, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor.
San Simón DOP melts very well due to its soft texture. Pair with hazelnuts, nuts, green apples, quince, Albariño, Sauvignon Blanc or Sherry.
