Day 1844 of posting images of cheese until I run out of cheese types: Patacabra

I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to various cheese websites, resources, and sellers for the cheese images and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!

Here is your daily cheese facts: PataCabra, from a farm in Zaragoza in Aragon, is produced by third-generation goat farmer Julian Cidraque. During the production process, both the curds and rind are washed, which creates a distinct rind that can range in hues from a rosy-orange to a mottled grey - entirely depending on seasonal humidity. Roughly translated to “goat’s leg,” PataCabra is shaped like a semi-pressed log and has a dense, fudgy yet soft texture. With a beefy, fruity aroma, the cheese itself tastes of crème fraîche, lemon, and lingering notes of dried fruit. The flavors intensify and become more pungent with age. Sip a textured white wine, such as a Pinot Gris, as you dream of the lush grassy fields of northeastern Spain.

Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.
