Category: CHEESE & DAIRY

An aged version of the most famous cheese from the Balearic Islands. Mahon Reserva is a square-shaped cheese with a characteristic burnt orange rind and deep yellow firm paste. Cheesemaker Pedro takes his cows’ milk cheese and rubs it in olive oil as it ages for 1 year, creating a not too dry, smooth cheese with some piquancy in the finish. While full-flavored, the taste is balanced and accessible. Excellent for grating and shaving over pasta or salads.

Hannah ★★★★★

That deep yellow paste has such a rich, nutty flavor that really opens up once it comes to room temperature. I've been enjoying it with crusty bread and a drizzle of honey, and the burnt orange rind adds a nice earthy note.

Alexander I. ★★★★★

The square shape makes it easy to slice thin for sandwiches, and that deep yellow paste is so firm and creamy at the same time. I've been grating it over pasta all week, and the aged nuttiness really comes through.

Grace E. ★★★★★

I love the way the burnt orange rind looks almost rustic on the cheese board. The flavor is nutty and a bit salty, perfect for crumbling over a simple salad. Definitely glad I picked up this half-pound block.
