URUGUAY (DOP)

“Urgèlia” is the only cheese from Catalonia recognised with the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP Queso del Alt Urgell y la Cerdanya), thanks to its quality, guarantee of origin and long tradition. It is a washed rind cheese, with a soft and creamy texture and a smooth and balanced flavour. Its traditional maturation favours the development of aromas with notes of toasted nuts, moss and mushrooms. It combines very well with quince and nuts, excellent in cooking, in raclettes, fondues, pasta dishes, pizzas, soups, etc.
