Villages like El Bosque, Villamartin, Grazalema or Villaluenga del Rosario have made of these products genuine stars in food contests and gourmet salons, turning Cadiz in the ‘land of cheeses’<\/strong>, of delights that you will have to try.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The name payoyo<\/strong> refers to one of the types of artisan cheeses that are produced in the province, particularly in Grazalema and Villaluenga del Rosario, perhaps the best known and most recognized internationally. It comes from a species of native goat in Sierra de Cadiz, the payoya goat from whose milk we get a completely Eco-friendly and delicious cheese.<\/p>\n But there are also cheeses of El Bosque, like El Bosque\u00f1o<\/strong> of goat and sheep made by craftsman’s hands in the traditional way, they come in a wide variety: cured, cured in oil, cured in Iberian pig lard, spicy, with rosemary, with paprika and emborrado<\/em> Sierra style.<\/p>\n The Pajarete<\/strong> of Villamartin artisan cheeses, El Gazul<\/strong> of Alcal\u00e1 de los Gazules organic cheeses, La Cabra Verde<\/strong> of Arcos de la Frontera cheeses, also organic and artisanal, cheeses like El Bucarito<\/strong> of Rota.<\/p>\n All of them awarded in various national and international competitions with different distinctions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On a Cheese’s Tour of Sierra de Cadiz<\/strong> a visit to the smallest town of the province and the birthplace of payoyo cheese is mandatory.
