Dairy beside a pazo with origins in 1713, in the Deza near Lalín (inland Pontevedra province, outside Rías Baixas), making Tetilla and Arzúa-Ulloa; guided visit with tasting, groups book ahead.
Cheeses: Queso Tetilla, Arzúa-Ulloa
Website: lacteosanzuxao.com
Tetilla is milky, creamy and mildly salty. Young dry Albariño, unoaked and raised on its lees in steel, brings high acidity that lifts the milk fat without covering the soft paste, and its fresh fruit suits a cheese sold young.
Fresh Arzúa-Ulloa is lactic, slightly acid and lightly salted, with butter and yogurt notes. The high acidity of young, unoaked Albariño echoes that lactic edge and keeps the soft, buttery paste from feeling heavy.
These blends add Loureiro, often with Treixadura or Caíño Blanco, to Albariño for a floral lift over high acidity. That lift suits the butter and yogurt notes of fresh Arzúa-Ulloa, and the acidity keeps its soft paste light.
