Typically, semi-hard cheeses are aged anywhere between one and six months depending on type. Semi firm Soft-ripened cheeses are aged just enough to let the rind mature, while the paste stays creamy. They are distinct from hard cheese and pressed cheese, which are either matured until they get a harder texture, or are put in a cheese press to remove the moisture and force the cheese to harden. Soft ripened Intense strokes of piquancy from the characteristic blue veins stretch along a creamy, often crumbly texture. Slight hints of rural mushrooms give way to a mild profile consisting of creamy tones of browned butter, slowly resolving in a calm finish. Blue veined Cheddar cheese is known for its rich and creamy texture and sharp and tangy flavour. The colour of the cheese ranges from white to pale yellow or orange, depending on the addition of food colourings. Cheddar The texture of cheese is determined by moisture content, which depends on the pressure with which it is packed as well as the length of time it has been aged. Semi-soft cheeses are generally high in moisture content and, depending on their age, range from very mild in flavor to very pungent. Semi-soft cheeses have a smooth, creamy interior with little or no rind Semi soft As the name suggests, hard cheese is firm. Often savory, it can be divided into two categories: hard (such as Parmesan), and semi-hard (such as Gouda). Production involves separating and draining most of the whey before pressing the curd, which is then either brined to create a hard rind or waxed. Hard ripened Fresh cheese is the common name for cheeses made from fresh curds that have not been pressed or aged. Produced throughout the world and commonly used in cooking, fresh cheese is a leaner substitute for cream.

This cheese is crafted from sheep's milk that is both nutrient-rich and earthy, with a texture akin to the smoothness of lanolin, lending the cheese its distinctive, impeccably white interior. Matured for a minimum of four months, Oveja Flores boasts a firm yet yielding texture that dissolves sumptuously in the mouth. The cheese is adorned with a blend of local, hand-picked flowers, creating a tapestry of hues and exuding a bouquet of floral scents. In terms of flavor, Oveja Flores is understated, drawing on the gentle qualities of sheep's milk, and is characterized by its mild lanolin undertone and the aromatic presence imparted by the floral crust. For a delightful tasting experience, present it on a cheeseboard to showcase its visually stunning paste and flowery rind. It is best enjoyed with accompaniments that are subtle in flavor to preserve the cheese's own refined and gentle taste profile.
