What to pour with their cheese

Queso de cabra payoya with Amontillado

Our pick

Payoyo describes its semicured goat cheese as very creamy, nutty, slightly acid and savoury. A dry Amontillado, aged first under flor and then in contact with air, has the depth to meet it, and sherry.wine names semi-cured cheeses for Amontillado.

Queso de Grazalema with Palo Cortado

Our pick

Payoyo describes its cured sheep cheese as straw yellow and intense, with a texture that melts on the palate. A dry Palo Cortado, begun under flor and finished oxidatively, has the depth for it, and sherry.wine names nuts and cured cheeses for Palo Cortado.

Queso de cabra payoya with Oloroso

Our pick

Payoyo describes its cured goat cheese as dark straw and smooth, with an intense goat flavour. A dry Oloroso, aged entirely in contact with air, has the depth to match it, and sherry.wine calls Oloroso the perfect match for well cured cheeses.
