Mahón DOP Semi Curado is a smooth, semi-aged Spanish cheese from the island of Menorca, where cheesemaking traditions date back over a thousand years. Protected under Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP/PDO) status, this cheese is made from cow’s milk and aged for 3 to 4 months, allowing it to develop a buttery, slightly elastic texture with a rich, nutty flavour.
Its distinctive square shape and orange-hued rind, rubbed with paprika and oil, give it a characteristic Mediterranean appearance and depth of taste.
During its semi-curado ageing stage, Mahón balances creamy sweetness with a subtle sharpness, offering flavours of buttered toast, hazelnuts, and a touch of saltiness from the island’s coastal breezes. It has a supple yet firm bite, making it versatile for slicing, melting, or enjoying on its own. Less intense than its curado counterpart, Mahón Semi Curado retains a mild tanginess and a wonderfully creamy finish, making it a crowd-pleaser for all cheese lovers.
Ideal for cheeseboards, tapas, or melting over grilled meats and vegetables, Mahón DOP/PDO Semi-Curado pairs beautifully with light Spanish reds like Mencía, crisp Albariño, or a dry Fino sherry, which enhance its buttery, nutty profile.
