Perlas de Queso with Figs

Quesos El Pastor has been crafting authentic Spanish cheeses since 1967, rooted in the rich dairy tradition of Zamora. This region, known for its exceptional sheep’s milk cheeses, has a history of cheesemaking that dates back centuries. El Pastor combines traditional methods with modern expertise to create unique products like Perlas de Queso with Figs—small cheese pearls that bring a delightful twist to classic flavours.

These delicate cheese pearls feature a smooth, creamy exterior with a luscious fig jam centre. Their mild dairy aroma is complemented by the natural sweetness of ripe figs, creating a delicious contrast. The texture is soft and velvety, offering a perfect balance between creaminess and the gentle chew of fig. Each bite delivers a satisfying mix of rich cheese and fruity sweetness, making them an elegant addition to any spread.

Pair these fig-filled cheese pearls with a glass of Port Wine, Late Ruby, Vieira De Sousa, 2018. The wine’s rich berry flavours and smooth, slightly sweet finish perfectly complement the creamy cheese and the natural sweetness of the figs, creating a well-balanced and indulgent pairing.
