Galicia’s winter milk, captured in a seasonal cheese.
Queixo de Inverno is made only with raw cow’s milk collected during Galicia’s winter months.
The limited production period, traditional farming story and individual box give delis and cheeseboards a seasonal cheese with something genuine to tell.
Queixo de Inverno begins with raw cow’s milk collected from October to March, although the season may continue when weather conditions allow.
It was traditionally known as “queso de nabiza”, after the tender turnip leaves grown on Galician farms to feed the cows through winter. That old, sustainable practice is still part of the story behind this distinctly seasonal cheese.
This is a cheese with a clear reason to be on the counter: a limited production season, raw milk and a direct connection to the landscape surrounding the Fragas do Eume Natural Park.
Serve it at room temperature, cut into wedges and then thin slices. Its compact individually boxed format is easy to present in speciality retail, while the winter story creates a natural opening for recommendations, seasonal selections and cheese gifts.
Queixo de Inverno received a bronze medal at the World Cheese Awards in 2022.
