This pudgy, silky cheese is named for its birthplace along the Ulla River in Galicia, Spain. Arzua Ulloa is a PDO-protected cow’s milk cheese that is recognizable by its soft, creamy paste and pliable rind. The satin-like paste is both sweet and luscious, with flavors of freshly churned butter and rising dough. Try smearing this cheese on a hunk of rustic bread or melt it down for fondue and pair it with Trois Petits Cochons Cornichons and Peppadews.
“This milky Spanish beauty is one of my all-time favorite cheeses. Its doughy texture and yeasty, tangy flavor make it unique and unlike anything your guests have had before. I love to pair it with charcuterie, especially classic Spanish hams like Jamon Iberico or Jamon Serrano. Be sure to serve with some olives for a hint of acidity to balance out all that richness of flavor!”

- A smooth, pliant exterior, often mottled with a soft coating of blue and white pennicilium molds, protects and encases the soft, unctuous paste inside.
- Made from the pasteurized milk of Rubia Gallega, Pardo Alpina and Friesian cows, this cheese is perfect on a hunk of rustic bread, and melts beautifully when heated.
