Spain definitely isn’t lacking for great sheep milk cheeses, but Ombra may be among its most unique. While this Catalonian cheese might look a little bit like a miniature Manchego, Ombra comes into its own as firmer and denser with a bit of added texture from the crystallization in its paste. It has strong caramel notes and a hint of dry grassiness, putting it among the most boldly flavored Spanish cheeses. It holds its own as the center of a cheese plate with saltier accoutrements, but it would also be delicious shaved onto a lightly seasoned vegetable dish.
