A treat

This has a reputation as the champagne of cheeses and after discovering it in Spain, I would agree. Not for me birthday cake, bu Torta del Casar - a treat especially if you love soft and slightly salty cheese.

Spectacular!

I’ve been trying to get hold of this cheese for years having enjoyed it in Southern France. We have problems with lactose and most of the cheeses which have similar spreadable texture are cow cheese so this is an awesome treat for us and it’s so rich and flavoursome that it goes a looooong way !!!
