History and origin

Cheese made in the cheese factory from the milk of the small flock that Manel and Mercè take care of in the family business. They are settled in “Baix Segre” between Cinca and Segre rivers, everything close to the area known as “Aiguabarreig”.

 

Cut

Compact dough with some mechanic holes.

 

Consumption

As an appetizer. Always a good option in a cheese platter.
