Tetilla D.O. is an unusual Spanish gourmet cheese. The remarkable thing about this Spanish gourmet cheese is its shape; it looks like a child's spinning top.

This wide conical cheese from Galicia is made from the milk of cows grazed on the lush pastures behind the coastal mountain range. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and has a yellow rind with a slightly greenish cast. The pale yellow paste is elastic and easy to slice, it has some irregular holes.

The cheese smells of milky meadows and it has an attractively creamy melt in the mouth. The flavor is full of fudge and nuts with a lemon sour tang to it.
