Mahon
Sold out, more expected soon
Mahón is a lovely Spanish gourmet cheese. This distinctively fruity cheese is named for the major town of the island of Menorca. Local farmers have been making cheese here for centuries but its reputation rests on the skill of the local experts who collect the young cheeses from the farmers and ripen them in underground cellars for two months to two years.

The ivory paste, too, darkens and hardens and develops a scattering of tiny holes. Mahón has a milky sweet and floral aroma. However, the taste is surprisingly sour and slightly tangy with roasted nuts and fudge-lik...
