Recipe for Goat’s Cheese in Olive Oil (Queso de Cabra en Aceite)

CEREALS and the oil from olives are the pillars of simple Mediterranean food such as vegetables, fruits and red wine.

Shepherds have traditionally made delicious mild and cured cheeses from goat’s milk.

The wild herbs which the animals feed on as they ramble over the mountainside during the seasonal migrations give the cheese a slightly spicy flavour, which is accentuated by the olive oil, also seasoned with herbs.
