Majorero P.D.O. cheese with paprika

Majorero with Paprika P.D.O. is a semi-soft pasteurized goat’s milk cheese made from the Majorera breed of goats on Fuerteventura, the Canary Island closest to Northern Africa. It is coated in pimentón, a traditional paprika spice produced in the same region. The paprika was originally used to protect the rind of the cheese from unwanted mold and bacteria. In this case, it gives a unique appearance to the rind and smokey, spicy flavor to the paste. Awarded in every edition of the World Cheese Awards.
