The Semi Curado is a cow’s milk cheese that originates from Spain. The rind is an orangey-red hue and the cheese itself is a milky white. Asides from some minor holes and air pockets, the cheese is solid throughout.

The flavor is very mild. Smooth and simple. Because of this delicate composition, it compliments well with sweeter flavors but does not have much to offer on its own. I found apples and fig spread contrasted well with its semi-creamy body. It is definitely more of a textural and ‘base’ cheese than one with a strong flavor that stands alone. It works best paired.

The Semi Curado is a simple cheese. Nothing particularly exciting or standout about it, but it works well when eaten with other flavors that blend with its own.
