3 WELCOME TO SPAIN IS WINE! As the Divisional Director for Gastronomy and Wine in Madrid, it is a pleasure for me to be here today at Spain Is Wine. This is a day of celebration in which 61 bodegas, showcasing more than 275 different wines, gather together at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Spain has the world s largest vineyard acreage, and the excitement, attention and demand surrounding wines from Spain today is the fruit of more than 3,000 years of experience. From long established and respected wine growing regions to exciting new ones, from indigenous grape varieties to foreign ones and from traditional to modern wine making techniques, wines from Spain offer something for everyone. We boast 69 Denominations of Origin (DO) and 41 country wine designations called Vinos de la Tierra (VT) with a unique terroir in each viticultural region. Spain is surrounded by water on three sides: the cold Atlantic in the North and West and the warm Mediterranean. Spain s physical geography is dominated by numerous mountain chains and their critically important foothills as well as significant rivers and their tributaries. These physical characteristics, from gently rolling hills to spectacular, terraced vineyards combined with the climatic influences of the seas and winds from all four directions, provide one of the broadest varieties of grape growing environments in the world. The transformation of the range of Spanish wines over the past 25 years has been truly remarkable. Recent years in particular have witnessed the emergence of a new generation of Master Winemakers who have achieved a balance of tradition and quality with innovation and quality, giving rise to unique and versatile wines that enjoy unprecedented success worldwide. We hope you will enjoy this unique and exciting event. Salud! Rosa Angulo Divisional Director for Gastronomy and Wines from Spain

5 Regiones OUR REGIONS Great wine requires a mad man to grow the vine, a wise man to watch over it, a lucid poet to make it, and a lover to drink it. Salvador Dali

6 GREEN SPAIN Green Spain s cool and misty climate necessitates a focus upon earlier-ripening grapes, especially white varieties. Aromatic varieties prosper, with Albariño the most visible success in international markets. Grown along the coast, or along the rivers that give Rias Baixas ( lower fjords ) its name, Albariño is the dominant grape; it can vary from crisp and tangy to round and peachy. While Treixadura and Loureiro grow there too, Rias Baixas single-minded focus upon Albariño has fueled a drive that has seen the U.S. become the region s number one market. Other white grapes fill the vineyards moving inland; the rich and even complex Godello grape rules in Valdeorras (the valley of gold, reflecting Rome s interest in the place 2000 years ago). Godello, Treixadura and others serve the regions of Monterrei and the picturesque DOs of Ribeiro and Ribeira Sacra. But away from the coast temperatures rise, so red grapes do well too; the Mencia grape is arguably northwest Spain s best red. Its lip-smacking raspberry tones and floral aromas are fun and bracing. Thus far, the grape s top iterations are found on the precipitous mountainsides above the town of Bierzo and the steep banks along the Sil River in Ribeira Sacra. The vineyards plummet downward; wine produced from old vines there is as dramatic as the view. Green Spain s vineyards extend all the way to Basque Country, often backing into the Pyrenees or the Sierra Cantábrica, sheltering more famous wine regions such as Rioja. Climatic challenges are a consistent theme, as is the reliance upon tangy, tart wines ideal with the shellfish and seafood from the well-stocked Atlantic Ocean. Txakoli wines are extremely tart, lemony, and even spritzy. Waiters will pour your wine from high above the glass to emphasize the fizz. Light in body and alcohol, Txakoli wines go down easily at the table or on a sunny afternoon. -4-

7 DUERO RIVER VALLEY Most of the greatest wines are from vineyards around the Duero River. Indeed Spain s most famed winery, Vega Sicilia, anchors the DO known as Ribera del Duero (meaning, the banks of the River Duero ), fueled by the ubiquitous Tempranillo grape, Spain s most planted red. The Duero River travels 460 miles from high in the Sistema Ibérico, forms part of the border between Spain and Portugal and then empties into the Atlantic at Oporto, a town that gives its name to a famous Portuguese fortified wine. The table wines grown along its banks are nearly as intense as Port but are far more practical at the table. Roasted lamb and goat are genius here, and the cold Atlantic seems far away in climate and cuisine. Though many of the vineyards have a gentle, round contour, this is high elevation viticulture: days are warm or even hot; nights are cold. Ripening is slowed; the wines become rich and ripe and hang on to their dusty, astringent structure. Some affordable wines are for immediate, delicious drinking; the top wines (Vega Sicilia, Pingus, Pesquera and many others) can last decades. The region s success have seen vineyards expand, and now names such as Sardón del Duero, Arribes, Arlanza, Cigales and other seeming satellites are garnering welldeserved attention. Rosés have been Cigales mainstay and the Tempranillo grape has more to say, it would seem. Tempranillo shines even more brightly in Toro; if the name conjures bulls, it s a region making powerful, even massive wines. Subtlety is not Toro s strong suit, but lovers of internationally styled wines are embracing the region s hard charging reds. On the other side of the Duero River, the Rueda DO has claimed its own international spotlight with the Verdejo grape, offering a white wine likened to (and occasionally blended with) Sauvignon Blanc which has its unique citrus aromas and pear texture and flavours. -5-

8 THE MESETA Félix Lorrio/ ICEX Almost two-thirds of all Spain s vineyards are on these arid plains. Many of Spain s top Vinos de Pago (such as Dominio de Valdepusa, Finca Elez, Dehesa de Carrizal and Pago Guijoso) are found in this area. The northern portion of the Meseta pitches its dry plateau to the edges of the Sistemas Central and Ibérico; the vineyards might be hot and dry, they often lie at high altitudes, and nighttime temperatures can be cool as a result. The Castilla La Mancha region focuses upon varietals, fueling a revolutionary turnabout in which these wines may become some of the most familiar Spanish wines to Canadians. For the moment, Airén remains the most widely planted grape, at over 70 percent of the vineyards. In La Mancha, the most extensive wine-growing region in the world, nearly half of the vineyards are not guaranteed to be granted the use of the DO label as they have to comply with strict criteria as set out by the Regulating Council. The DO s of Almansa, Manchuela, Méntrida, Mondéjar, Uclés, Valdepeñas, and Vinos de Madrid are producing good wines in their elevated vineyards. The Extremadura region lies to the west, and just as with Castilla La Mancha, there are some surprising wines to be found, with one DO, Ribera del Guadiana, showing distinct promise. -6-

9 MEDITERRANEAN COAST Fernando Briones/ ICEX This massive area includes much of present day Cataluña; there is a DO by that name as well that encompasses many of the top areas. These vineyard areas, whether near or far from the coast, share exposure to the warm winds of the Mediterranean. Many of the vineyards can be fairly moderate in climate and coastal, as in Alella, or remote and mountainous, as in Priorat. In Cataluña, elevation and proximity to the sea are crucial to understanding what is made there and why. Alella offers some delicious whites from the Pansa Blanca grape (known as Xarello in Cava country); it can be aromatic and expressive. White wines prosper in a number of sites along the Mediterranean, though not as frequently as the reds. Empordá makes some generous and textured Garnacha Blanca based wines, as do Montsant and Priorat. The Penedés region, home of 95% of the country s Cava, is awash in white grapes: Parellada, Macabeo (or Viura) and Xarel-lo (or Pansa Blanca). As throughout most of Spain, the greater number of prized wines are reds. DO s such as Conca de Barbera, Costers del Segre, Empordá, Pla de Bages and Terra Alta have a dizzying array of wines from both international and indigenous grapes. Garnacha is far more planted than is Tempranillo; heat is a stronger factor in these regions and Garnacha a more forgiving grape. Syrah and the Bordeaux varieties show up in more elevated and protected sites. The great success story in recent years is in and around the Tarragona region where some vines end up as Cava and some harbor red grapes. Priorat and its baby brother Montsant have unquestionably changed Spain s wine landscape; these craggy hills and mountains allow Garnacha, Cariñena, along with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah to bake into powerful, heady wine, especially when coaxed from the old vines found throughout. In Montsant, elevations and terrains are not as extreme as Priorat, and Priorat s famed licorella soils give way most often to limestone, and the quality/value ratios are well stacked in the drinker s favour. The prices charged for some Priorat wines are as lofty as the stark pinnacles above -7-

10 Fernando Briones/ ICEX MEDITERRANEAN COAST (continue) these mountainous vineyards. Twenty years ago this entire area and its wines were nearly forgotten. In the early 1980s, a group of mavericks René Barbier, Rioja s Alvaro Palacios, Carlos Pastrana, Dafne Glorian, and José Luis Pérez moved to Priorat. They created fantastic wines almost from the beginning, and they continue to improve the wines of the region. The fame and pricing have attracted some to the region, but a quick buck is unlikely. As Alvaro Palacios of L Ermita is quick to point out, the region itself is so difficult to work that only small amounts of very high-quality wine can be made. Anyone seeking to make wine through compromise will likely fail. The quality in Priorat, and the prices, shall remain high. These wines are powerful and warm, if not occasionally hot, and carry a fresh and even slightly racy core that gives them shape and complexity. The landscape too is distinct; the licorella soil mix of granite and slate adds a firmly mineral note that underpins every wine, regardless of the grapes. Closer to the coast, Penedés is home to more than Cava. The region is broken into the Alt-Penedés, Mitja-Penedés, and Baix-Penedés, reflecting the disparities in elevation within Penedés, with some vineyards planted in sites higher than 2,500 feet. All the grapes (especially the dominant three Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada) at those altitudes can be intensely tart, akin to the raciness of Champagne. There are complex and layered versions of Cava, as well as rich rosado styles to be discovered. Nine months of aging on the lees is required for standard Cava; Reservas must stay 18 months on the lees, and Gran Reservas require 30 months. Farther southwest down the coast, the average temperatures go higher, and the opportunity to make light wines is baked away. Instead the Levante, an area around Valencia and Murcia, is wholly dependent upon water, and the grapevines suffer without it. Areas such as Alicante, Bullas, Utiel-Requena, Valencia and Yecla do good work where the producers are dedicated to quality, and where the vineyards are elevated enough to provide cooling nighttime temperatures. One of the stars here is Jumilla. In the last two decades, Jumilla has crafted delightful wines, whether from Monastrell (or Mourvèdre, as the French call it), Garnacha or blends with other grapes. Most wines are very reasonably priced and are often rich and delicious. The Bobal grape is exciting too and prospers more often in Utiel-Requena. -8-

11 ANDALUCIA ICEX The ancient lands of southwestern Spain have been planted to vineyards for nearly 3,000 years. But this part of Iberia was long under the control of the Moors, and winemaking was discouraged if not outright forbidden here from 711 to To most visitors, Andalucía appears as more moonscape than landscape; and Andalucía s mountains carry other possibilities. With abrupt shifts in elevation, fascinating dessert wines have been produced within areas in Montilla-Moriles and Málaga. And Andalucía s most famous wine area, Jerez (Sherry), receives more rainfall than most other parts of southern Spain. That rain is captured by the special limestone-rich soils of the area, called albariza, that bake in the summer sun into a hard crust, trapping cool moisture for the vines needs. Sherry s multiplicity is a bewildering obstacle for too many people. It s actually simple: Sherry is fortified wine. It s fortified after the fermentation, so unlike Port, all Sherry begins its life as a dry wine. Sherry is initially classified as one of two wines: fino or olosoro. A fino is intended to be a light, crisp, delicate wine even at its usual alcohol level of 15% or more. Yet the great finos are delicate. They are aged in barrel underneath a yeast film called flor (or flower, though it looks more like pond scum), and the flor protects the wine from oxygen, adding flavors and aromas as well. Great finos have the tangy aroma of the flor with its distinct almond character and aromas similar to mushroom and sometimes cheese rind. The finos aged in the bodegas of the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda take on even more of the aromas of the ocean and are given the distinct name of manzanilla. -9-

12 ANDALUCIA (continue) Finos that eventually lose their flor will be topped up, fortified to a higher level of alcohol (around 18 percent), and allowed to age into something called amontillado. Amontillados contain echoes of the character of the fino from which they grew, but pecans, honey, caramel, toffee, nuts, dried fruits, and many other aromas and flavors begin to take over. The other great category of Sherry is oloroso. These are usually made sweet, although a handful of them are left dry. The term oloroso can be loosely translated into something powerfully aromatic, and the long barrel aging required for great oloroso certainly gives it aromas, which might include toffee, walnuts, prunes, cherries, orange rind, spices, chocolate, and myriad other delectable, dessert-like characteristics. Sherry is also defined by its solera process of aging. Solera is a system of graduated blending whereby a portion of Sherry is drawn from an old barrel, which is subsequently filled from a barrel of younger Sherry. Barrels of younger and younger Sherries cascade downward so that old and new Sherries are gently and systematically blended together. Sherries can be designated as Twelve Year Old. Fifteen Year Old, VOS or VORS (see glossary), and are Carbon-14 tested to verify their minimum average age. We know of no other similarly rigorous testing in other wine regions of the world. -10-

13 THE EBRO RIVER VALLEY Rioja s most important river isn t the diminutive, namesake Rio Oja, but the Ebro. Snaking between the Sierra Cantábrica and the Sierra Demanda, the Ebro and its tributaries have helped carve out vineyards that have been celebrated for at least two centuries. Rioja has traditionally carried Spain s reputation for high quality wine, at least until the late twentieth century s explosion of new regions and grapes. There are three sub-regions Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Alta, and Rioja Baja and while many describe their distinct differences, the notion of a hierarchy between them is out of touch with reality. So too the fashion with grapes: Tempranillo is king, certainly, but Garnacha, Mazuelo (Carineña), Graciano and increasing numbers of other indigenous grapes are generating new ideas and styles in the region. There are reds, whites and rosés here, but the reds account for the greater part of its fame. Aging classifications have, until recently, been the primary means for separating one wine from another: Joven ( young ) wines are for early drinking. Crianza wines are aged for two years (one of those in barrel) and are for early or mid-term enjoyment. Reserva wines (three years aging, with one of those years in barrel) can be age-worthy or offer serious immediate consumption. Gran Reserva wines have been regarded as the region s pinnacle; they are at least five years old and generally ready to drink. But they can age for years too; their long barrel aging often renders them gentle and complex, rather than big and rich. Today many top names are often eschewing long barrel times, and some of these Tempranillo based wines could stand in for Napa Cabernet in intensity and weight. If Rioja has been the traditional area of quality, Navarra has generally been known for quantity. International grapes such as Cabernet, Syrah and Merlot are being planted; while the DO s historic Garnacha vineyards are ripped out. Many see that as a pity, but Navarra is still transitioning to excellence. Some other areas are already proven even if lesser known such as the limestone-rich DOs of Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Cariñena and Somontano. Juicy Garnacha is the primary driver. -11-

14 THE ISLANDS Piedad Sancho-Mata/ ICEX The Balearics The islands of Mallorca and Minorca offer an increasing number of small production wines from indigenous and international grape varieties; they re good wines, only a handful are now available in the Canadian market. The Canaries Though far away and off the coast of Africa, the Canaries are part of Spain and part of Spanish (and American) history. The Canaries were an important port on the long voyage to America, and it was from here that Columbus took sugarcane to transplant into the Americas to create rum. Spain s highest mountain is on Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, and most of the island s vineyards are grown on these fertile, volcanic soils. There are a number of DOs on these islands, and most are very interesting, but only a few wines are available in the Canadian market. Here s hoping that will soon change! -12-

34 TABLE #36 Cava Agusti Torello Agustí Torelló Mata is a family owned and managed bodega, producing a range of high quality Cava in the heart of the Penedès, near the town of Sant Sadurní d Anoia. We are perhaps most famous for our Cava Kripta, made from 60+ year old vines, with extended ageing and bottled in a handmade amphora-shaped bottle. While it has become fashionable in Spain to use higher yield grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Cava blend, the family stands firmly with tradition and flavour by using only Ma-cabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada, and Trepat (for the rosé Cava). Production is very limited due, amongst other things, to the age of the vines. Tel: TWC Imports - Ric Kitowski Tel: ric@twcimports.com 2012 CAVA AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA BRUT RESERVA D.O.

39 Baron De Ley TABLE #28 Following the planting of the first vines in the Monastery Estate in 1985, including 70 hectares of Tempranillo, 10 of Graciano and 10 of experimental varieties, the market s excellent initial response in the 90s encouraged the cellar s founders to take the project further. Thus, this first estate vineyard was followed by more vineyards and plantations, such as Monte Araoz and Monte Jiménez in Mendavia, the incorporation of 100 hectares of old vines in Cenicero (Rioja Alta). More recently projects such as the Los Almendros estate in Ausejo and the Carboneras vineyard, can be found situated at an altitude of 850 m above sea level. In these more recent projects, the cellar made a firm commitment to open up to other Rioja red varieties (Garnacha, Maturana, Graciano) and even to white ones (Verdejo, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Garnacha Blanca), with the aim of continuing to increase the quality and singular nature of our wines.

47 BODEGAS CASA TABLE #4 tal of Rioja Casa de la Primicia (XI century) is the oldest building of Laguardia village, the capital of Rioja Alavesa. At the beginning of the XV century, the Church here collected the Tithes and First offerings as farming taxes. That is how Casa Primicia started. The sons of Julian Madrid continue the legacy in the area surrounding the town of Laguardia, without forgetting our roots. Today, Julian Madrid s grandchildren honour him by carrying on the values he established at the vineyard. Casa Primicia is a magical place, a temple of wine.

48 TABLE #5 incorporated Bodegas With a clear innovating spirit, the CASTAÑO family has incorporated avantgarde technologies and the latest winemaking systems to keep the legacy of our ancestors alive: their love for the land and an inherited passion for the indigenous MONASTRELL, the king grape variety in Yecla. A precise work with this variety for over 50 years now, our constant experimenting with other varieties and the different soils where our vines are planted in D.O. Yecla have provided a major complexity of aromas and flavours in our wines. The care for the vineyards, a strict selection of grapes at harvest time and a neat elaboration, specific to each variety and kind of grape, give us the wide range of wines in our catalogue. Young reds, whites and rosés, different barrel-ageing periods and either single varietal or harmoniously blended wines become a true pleasure to discover.

50 TABLE #6 Bodegas Corral, Don Bodegas Corral is situated in the heart of La Rioja, a few minutes from Logroño, the capital of this particular wine-region. It was founded in 1898, after the Carlist war, by Mr. Saturnino Daroca who started out by planting and producing wines of high quality of La Rioja. Bodegas Corral is the only Bodega in La Rioja where the original pilgrims way Ruta Jacobea or St. James Way passes by and from where the brand name Don Jacobo was derived. Bodegas Corral owns about 40 hectares of vineyards and buys additional grapes, around one million kilos, from the best growers surrounding the Bodega. Personal and total control over the quality and selection of the best grapes, grown in the finest district - Rioja Alta - is one of the first steps to produce great wines of limited volume with originality and of supreme quality, characterised by a modern and fruity style. It is achieved by a combination of balance between the rich fruit and the contribution of delicate vanilla from the oak.

65 Bodegas TABLE #15 Bodegas Piqueras was founded in 1915 in the town of Almansa by Luis Piqueras. At that time the production of the small cellar was aimed at the local market, with no other expectations than to sell some hectolitres of wine per year. In the 50 s, the cellar went through a series of enlargements to suit the increasing market of red wines sold in bulk to different areas of Spain, including Rioja. The winery bottled its first bottle of wine in 1961 and when the regulated designated area of wine production of Almansa was established, in 1975, the winery was the first in the region to invest in 100 oak barrels containing 300 litres. From this moment, the winery s way of working changed completely focusing all efforts on increasing the production of both quality, young and barrel-aged bottled, wines.

72 TABLE #36 The winery can be traced back to 1885, when an ancestor of the Prada family, José Ramón Gay-oso, planted the first Godello vines on the high, slate hillsides of the Sil valley. Gayoso expand-ed small parcels of vines, or Pezas, carefully choosing the best sites in and around the village of Portela de Valderroas. In subsequent years many of these parcels were sold to other growers, leaving only the Pedrouzos estate within the family. In 2001, the current generation of the family began to buy back the small parcels, inspired by the special qualities of the Valdeorras region, as well as Pedrouzos, which is the oldest Godello vineyard in Galicia. From the 100 plus year old Pedrouzos vineyard, the family has been able to carry out their own clonal selection and adopt techniques such as managing plant cover. In regards to this restored heritage and a professional approach to winemaking, Bodegas Valdesil produces elegant and distinctive wines with an unmistakable personality; reflecting both their origin and grape variety.

76 TABLE #28 Empordàlia is the fruition of many years of hard toil, teamwork and a desire to perpetuate a tradition. We are made up of three cooperatives in the Empordà region those of Pau, Rosas and Vilajuïga. Our story began in 1947 with the founding of the cooperative in Vilajuïga. The cooperative of Pau was created later, in 1961, and merged with that of Rosas in the 80 s. The three cooperatives were created with the same purpose in mind: to work together and produce a quality product that reflects the character of our region. United by this shared purpose, we decided to create, in 2005, what is now known as Empordàlia, a name that represents us all.

78 TABLE #36 Losada Vinos de Finca Losada is in El Bierzo, near the village of Pieros on the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Working exclusively with Mencia grapes from old plantings, Losada s vineyards are a series of small parcels of traditionally bushtrained vines planted in slate and clay soils. Minimum intervention is done in the vineyards, in respect to area traditions, the environment, the workers and the people who enjoy their wines. That is, no chemical herbicides or pesticides are used. The modern winery by Jesús Manzanares, uses gravity to move wine through the production process rather than pumps. The design also incorporates environmental features for both heat/cooling and light, including locating the ageing cellar, production area, and bottling line underground. Solar panels generate power for much of the production. The wines are made under the direction of Amancio Fernández, one of a handful of pioneers who share responsibil-ity for the development of the Bierzo region.

79 FINCA TABLE #43 The thinking behind Finca Moncloa is based on recovering the almost forgotten tradition of red wine-making in the province of Cadiz and rescuing an almost extinct grape variety, Tintilla de Rota, with an eye to becoming the reference for Andalusian red wines. Since 1972, González Byass has been testing white and red grape varieties on experimental plots of land. In 2001, the González family purchased 12 hectares near Arcos de la Frontera for planting red grapes. Their view is to make quality wines in the region, where there was tradition of making red wines in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries.

87 Bodega Marques de TABLE #31 Starting in 1858 the Hurtado de Amezaga family emerged from among the rural winemakers of Rioja to create the first winery for crafting and aging red wines in the Bordeaux technique. By 1862 they were the first to commercially bottle their wines under the name Rioja, long before Rioja became an official Spanish wine region. In 1895, the wines of Riscal were the first non-french wines to receive the Diplôme de Honneur at the Exhibition in Bordeaux, an achievement that adorns the labels of the Reserva and Gran Reserva wines even today. In the early 70s, Marqués de Riscal decided to expand its product range with a white wine and after two years of trials they chose the Rueda region. True to its pioneering spirit, they created a new young, fresh and fruity white wine style using Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, in a region that was known for its sherrystyle wines. Other wineries followed and the appellation of the D.O. Rueda was set up in Throughout its history, Marqués de Riscal has always been a pioneer and has thrived on innovation. They seek to make original, fresh, elegant and easy to drink wines. Today they are present in more than 110 countries and export 65% of their production.

94 TABLE #39 Vinos del Vinos Guerra is one of the oldest wineries of Spain, having being founded in 1879 and since then producing and selling bottled wine with our own brand. Everything started thanks to a real visionary, Antonio Guerra, who understood the value and potential of the vineyards of Bierzo and its indigenous grapes. He actively contributed to the vineyard renovation after phylloxera and therefore helped define what would be the new Bierzo. Far before anyone, he applied revolutionary winemaking techniques and a passionate marketing to show the virtues of the wines from Bierzo to the world. Wines produced with old vineyards, along the Pilgrim Way to Santiago de Compostela, on sunny slopes that conceal Roman and Visigothic treasures. Today, after more than 135 years, we wanted to pay tribute to this pioneer by getting back to our roots. With a real respect to traditional viticulture and all our growers behind the labels, we created a new range of wines to satisfy new consumers. The pure essence of our terroir and indigenous grapes are harmoniously combined in a fresh and elegant way to enjoy with our friends and family: Wines to share on a daily basis, wines to be part of our lives, our real values, our tradition, to express our history together with a future wide open to take on new challenges. It s not a full stop, but simply a way to reinvent ourselves and to continue sharing our passion for our beloved Bierzo.

100 Cheese from Spain: TRADITIONS AND TRENDS The cutting edge cuisine of Spain is based on a pantry of heirloom foods of exquisite quality, including unique and iconic cheeses. Spain has over 100 indigenous cheeses, reflecting the country s diverse geography and ancient agricultural traditions. Did you know? Every corner has its own specialty, from fresh to cured, fermented and blue-veined. One essential characteristic is the type of milk used in production. Depending on the area, time of the year, climate and tradition, Spanish cheeses are made from cow s milk, sheep s milk, goat s milk, or of a mixture of two or all three. Cow s milk cheese is generally found in the North, along the Cantabrian coast, from Galicia to the Basque Country and along the Pyrenees mountains bordering the region of Aragon to Catalonia. Sheep s milk cheese is found in the interior, from Cantabria and the Basque Country in the North to the flat lands of Castilla Leon, Castilla La Mancha, Aragon and Extremadura. And finally goat s milk cheeses are found mostly along the Mediterranean coast from Catalonia to Andalusia as well as in Extremadura. The Canary and Balearic Islands mainly produce goat s milk cheese although cow s milk and mixed milk cheeses are also made there. Mixed milk cheeses are found throughout Spain with the local milk predominating. Quality cheese production is subject to rigorous regulations and there are currently 27 cheeses with Denominations of Origin (DO) in Spain. -98-
