The product is sold in a piece of about 9.2 oz. (260 g) and costs 5.54 euros, which places it in a very affordable range. Its size makes it easy to use for snacks or simple recipes without waste. Its regional identity adds a differentiating value on the shelf.

Ways to enjoy a cheese with a recognizable personality

This cured sheep's cheese with mojo picón improves when left to rest for a few minutes outside the refrigerator. That brief rest softens the texture and allows the aroma to gain intensity. Cutting it into cubes or thin slices helps the flavor distribute evenly.

Pairing it with artisan breads or toast creates a contrast that enhances its character without hiding the dairy base. It also works well alongside olives or mild-flavored nuts. On mixed boards, it adds a distinctive touch without breaking the overall balance.

A young red wine or a light beer accompanies this cheese without interfering with its aromatic profile. This type of pairing allows the mojo picón to keep its presence without becoming dominant. It can also be used on warm toasts that soften the firmness without losing its essence.

To keep it well, it's advisable to keep it in its packaging or wrap it in special cheese paper. Storing it in a middle area of the refrigerator helps keep its moisture and texture. Eating it freshly cut allows for better enjoyment of the balance between curing and seasoning.
