This is one of the best known Extremaduran cheeses because of its quality and characteristic flavour.

Cheese made with unpasteurised goat's milk, small in size (its weight ranges between 700g and 1.2kg), cylindrical and irregular in shape, with a smooth reddish yellow rind, although it can also be shiny yellow or orangey red, as it may be oiled or peppered. Inside it is compact, soft and wide and, above all, extremely tasty and aromatic, with a noticeable flavour, somewhat acid and salty, very pleasant and buttery. It may be mature or from mild to medium mature and varies between fatty and very fatty. It is eaten as an appetiser, "tapa" or dessert.
