About this item
A smooth, golden Alpine cheese made from 100% pasture-fed cows. Cow's milk cheeses are quite common in Galicia, but long-aged (18 months) hard cheeses with this flavor profile and granular texture are rare. Km 39 has intense aromas of fruit and toasted bread and a flavor that has notes of pineapple, banana, and caramel. The long, robust finish brings forward savory flavors of chestnut and walnut. We first met the woman behind this cheese six years ago, but rediscovered it on a recent trip on the Camino de Santiago, the pilgrimage route through Galicia and beyond. The name is a reference to its location along the Camino. The cheese is deeply tied to its homeland and has a distinct terroir through the use of proprietary cultures, local molds, and fresh milk from grass-fed cows.
