A Taste of Castilla y León

Clean, citrus flavour. Tangy, complex rind. Dense, creamy interior. World class.  This wonderful cheese was created in the 1980's and has won numerous awards all over the world. Made in the Tietar valley in Avila, where there are is exceptional grazing for livestock. The creation of the late Rafael Báez. Although the cheese is made all year round,  production levels vary with the seasons, as only the highest quality milk is selected.  Monte Enebro has an intense lingering flavour with hints of mushroom and pasture flower and a distinct spiciness from the penicillin rind. It pairs wonderfully with zesty, herbaceous wines that have a refreshing acidity, like our Flor de Vetus.  It also complements the saline, dry, and structured qualities of a Fino or Manzanilla; as well as juicy red wines with berry and floral notes, such as our Petit Pittacum. Try it in our restaurants served fried with Alemany orange blossom honey and beetroot crisps.  Learn more about this incredible cheese: watch the video here. Net weight: approx. 200g

Richly fatty cured pork belly. Hint of spice from pimentón. For streaky bacon with attitude. Freshly sliced in our Balham Deli. León paprika-rubbed rubbed smoked streak bacon  has the perfect balance of lean and fat and is marinated in pimentón to give a spicy heat to the rind. It adds a deep, salty smokiness to any dish or gourmet sandwich. In Spain, Panceta is also often referred to as bacon. Selection of quality raw ingredients is key. The cured belly pork is cut and then smoked over oak. Panceta is wonderfully versatile and adds flavour to the other ingredients it is combined with. In traditional slow-cook Spanish dishes such as Cocidos, often just a little is added for depth of flavour.
