Tetilla is a favorite of our family: a rich, creamy dairy cheese from the lush countryside of Galicia. We have asked the dairymen to make some smaller ones, so that you will be tempted to try one. Many of you think of Spain and her cheeses as coming from her thousands of sheep grazing on hot arid plains. But this cheese is quite different. The Province of Lugo is filled with rolling green hills punctuated with patches of granite, and many contented cows. For centuries the milk from these cows have produced beautiful hand formed cheeses have been produced in the country surrounding the medieval walled city of Lugo. You can see rows of them in the market any day of the week - they are the favorite cheese of the residents in the area. And what a versatile cheese it is! Sometimes you might like to sit down for a moment with a fresh apple and slices of Tetilla. Another time you might want to make glorious grilled cheeses on crusty bread - or make a tempting cream sauce for asparagus or cauliflower. Actually, any time you think of using a mild cheddar, truy a richer creamier Tetilla instead.
