Finca Pascualete Retorta - The Creamy Sheep’s Milk Delight from Extremadura
Finca Pascualete Retorta is a luxurious, raw sheep’s milk cheese from Extremadura, Spain, handcrafted on the historic Finca Pascualete estate. While not officially PDO or PGI-protected, this cheese has gained worldwide acclaim for its incredibly creamy, spoonable texture and rich, herbal flavour.
Shaped into a small, round disc, Retorta features a thin, golden-hued natural rind and a smooth, melting interior that oozes when cut. Using thistle rennet, the cheesemakers achieve a delicate balance of sweetness and tang, with buttery, grassy notes and a mild bitterness on the finish. The texture is sumptuously soft, making it ideal for spreading over fresh bread or enjoying as a centrepiece on a gourmet cheeseboard.
Best enjoyed by slicing off the top rind and scooping out the luscious interior with a spoon, Retorta pairs beautifully with crisp Cava, aged sherries, or bold Tempranillo wines, which complement its complex, savoury notes.
