Torta de La Serena El Porfiao - Creamy Artisan Cheese

Torta La Serena el Porfiao comes to us from the region of Extremadura. Made from unpasteurized sheep's milk, La Serena is made with natural thistle rennet. This adds a delicious fruity earthiness to the creamy, slightly salty cheese. The soft creamy center is meant to be spread on toast, crackers, and other savory dishes. Traditionally, this cheese is  eaten by slicing off the top and scooping out the inside. You can also cut it in half from top to bottom and save the other half for a few days.
