Luna Negra

Reminiscent of a French chèvre, this Luna Negra has a snow white centre, a fluffy texture and a bright, mineral, fresh flavour. When young, this cheese is mousse-like and clean on the palate, with notes of celery and raw almond. As it matures, classic mushroom aromas and flavours will appear, alongside a slight breakdown in the ash covered rind and a taste of cream.

The History, Dairy & Farm, Animals & Maker

Luna Negra is made by Quesos Elvira García, a family business based in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos, in Ávila, Spain. The family have specialised in goat’s cheese production for over thirty years, name each of their animals, know their family lineage and celebrate their unique personalities. All of their goats are Malagueña goats, who are well suited and very much enjoy the rich and varied landscape on which they live. The goat’s milk is clean, sweet and balanced and makes for exceptional cheese.

Sustainability

Luna Negra is a farmhouse cheese, meaning the dairy is on the same site that the goats live, reducing food miles to zero. The goats are also outdoor reared, meaning food does not need to be grown for them elsewhere.
