Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 500g format and the 1kg format?

The recipe, the milk (100% Galician Blonde Cow) and the D.O.P. production process are exactly the same. The 1kg format offers a better price per kilo and is designed for a higher volume of consumption or service.

How should I store it in a restaurant?

Keep in a refrigerated chamber between 2-6°C. Once cut, cover the exposed surface with cling film or cheese paper to prevent it from drying out, and consume within 5-7 days.

Can I use it for cooking (empanada, broth)?

Absolutely. It is the authentic ingredient for Galician empanada or Galician broth. When heated, it retains its shape but becomes extremely creamy on the inside.
