Now you have made me hungry, and I'll need to go out and buy some cheese. It's good to know that you can get hold of Garrotxa in different places. Here, in Spain, it doesn't seem to easy to get it outside of Catalunya. There are some other fantastic Spanish goats cheeses that are similar to Garrotxa, I'll try to write about the rest of them soon. Susan!

I live by myself and cannot seem to get through big portions of cheese, so when I set my eyes on this smaller wedge of cheese I jumped on it. I'm always looking to try new cheeses and foods and this particular cheese looked like the kind of cheese that I usually enjoy, i.e. nice hearty rind, smooth color that is nutty looking towards the rind then lightens to a silky cream color in the middle. I just got home, slapped a little olive oil on a slice of 9-grain bread, toasted it and went to town on the cheese. It has instantly become a favorite!!! Thank you for writing about the history of this cheese. As soon as I finished eating it I jumped on my computer to see what I could find about it.
