The buttery interior of Wooly Wooly Honey Oregano is delicious, but it’s the exterior that’s a total showstopper. This Spanish sheep’s milk cheese is crafted in La Mancha, and the semi-firm texture and nutty flavor take cues from Manchego. It’s the perfect canvas for the intoxicating burst of herbal, sweet flavor at the rind, thanks to the generous coating of honey and oregano. Go for simple, snackable Spanish pairings—Murray’s Marcona Almonds and Regalis Verdial Olives—and let the cheese shine.

“I’m picky about flavored cheeses, but this one is so good! The freshness of the oregano with the honey sweetness—you'll want to go rind-first for every bite!”

Wooly Wooly Honey Oregano is made from raw sheep’s milk in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain.
The wheels are coated in honey and oregano and aged for five months.
The herbal, sweet flavor doesn’t permeate far into the buttery cheese, but it’s bright and vibrant at the rind.
Sheep give rich, high-fat milk that maintains its decadent texture whether soft or firm—here the texture is semi-firm, somewhere between creamy and crumbly.

Founded in 1998, Forever Cheese was created to share Sini’s renowned family cheeses with a U.S. audience.

It wasn’t long before they were also adding other charcuterie staples, like prosciutto and fruit spreads, to the fold

When you receive your cheese, unpack the order and refrigerate the items. We recommend using the cheese paper we send most of our products in to store the cheese. The cheese paper helps cover the items and stop them from drying out, while also allowing the cheese to breathe. Since cheese is mold, it's a living thing! If you cut off air circulation to the cheese, you can actually cause it to suffocate and spoil at a faster rate.
