{"product_id":"queso-arzua-ulloa-dop-queseria-barral","title":"Arzua Ulloa PDO Cheese","description":"Arzúa-Ulloa cheese is one of the quintessential Galician cheeses, widely distributed throughout central Galicia, although its production was originally concentrated in the municipalities of southeastern A Coruña, western Lugo and northeastern Pontevedra, receiving different names depending on the area and historical moment, including: Arzúa cheese, Ulla cheese, A Ulloa cheese, Curtis cheese, Chantada cheese, Friol cheese or Lugo cheese.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is a cheese made from raw or pasteurized cow's milk that, after a production process that includes coagulation, cutting and washing of the curd, molding, pressing, salting and maturation, acquires the following characteristics:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its ripening period is at least six days. Its shape is lenticular or cylindrical, with rounded edges, with a diameter between 100 and 260 mm and a height between 50 and 120 mm. The height may never exceed the radius. The weight ranges between 0.5 and 3.5 kg. The rind is thin and elastic, medium to dark yellow, shiny, clean, and smooth. The paste is uniform in color, between ivory white and pale yellow, shiny, and uncracked. It may have a small number of small, angular or rounded eyes, and irregularly distributed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its preparation method is as follows:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCoagulation will be carried out with animal rennet, at a temperature of 30 to 35 °C, for a time, variable depending on the conditions of the milk and the rennet, of 30 to 75 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The curd is cut so that the granulometry is the size of a corn kernel (5-10 mm in diameter). It is then washed with potable water to lower the acidity of the curd so that the finished product's pH does not fall below 5.0 to 5.5.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Molding is done in cylindrical molds. The pressing time will vary depending on the pressure applied and the size of the parts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Salting will be done in the vat on the curd and\/or by placing the cheeses in brine. The brine will be kept refrigerated to prevent undesirable microbiological changes. The cheeses will not remain in brine for more than 24 hours.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRipening takes place in rooms with relative humidity between 75 and 90 percent and a temperature below 15°C. The minimum ripening period for cured cheeses is six months. During the ripening process, the cheeses undergo the necessary turning and cleaning procedures to ensure they acquire their distinctive characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Designation covers three types of well-differentiated maturations: cheese that is matured for 6 days, is called Arzua Ulloa soft cheese; cured cheese that matures between 4-6 months and is called Queso de la Nabiza or queixo dos tempos dos nabos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003csection class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"editor\"\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt Queixería Barral, we work to keep the flavor of \u003cstrong\u003eArzúa Ulloa and Tetilla DOP\u003c\/strong\u003e cheese alive and showcase the efforts of 30 years of master cheesemakers, as well as to create new products that adapt to current consumer needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Because consumers increasingly value products with tradition and authenticity; we value the authenticity of each flavor that transports us to specific places, to moments gone by. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contact\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"contact__container\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"contact__text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"La Tienda de las Conservas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51635228016976,"sku":"qs_aulloa-1","price":8.27,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5508\/1296\/files\/barral_queso_arzuoulloa_mini_15856b60-b894-4e26-a053-c42b70fea121.jpg?v=1763485197","url":"https:\/\/latiendadelasconservas.es\/en-bg\/products\/queso-arzua-ulloa-dop-queseria-barral","provider":"La Tienda de las Conservas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
