Description
Produced in the foothills of the Spanish Pyrenees, Kamiku Aged Sheep Cheese is crafted from 100% sheep milk sourced from a flock of approximately 5,000 grazing sheep.
The cheese reflects the traditions of one of Europe’s most historic shepherding regions, where generations of farmers have relied on mountain pastures, seasonal grazing, and traditional dairy practices to produce distinctive sheep milk products.
Origin
Kamiku is located in Navarra, within the Spanish Pyrenees.
This mountain region is known for its clean air, natural grazing lands, and centuries-old sheep farming culture. The combination of altitude, climate, and traditional pasture systems contributes to the character of the milk and ultimately the flavour of the cheese.
Unlike industrial dairy production, the milk used for Kamiku cheeses remains closely linked to the surrounding landscape and natural grazing cycle.
100% Sheep Milk
Only sheep milk is used in the production of this cheese.
Naturally rich in butterfat and protein, sheep milk produces a cheese with a fuller body, creamier texture, and greater flavour intensity than many conventional cow milk cheeses.
The result is a product with remarkable depth and complexity while maintaining balance and elegance.
Traditional Maturation
After production, the cheese is matured under controlled conditions to allow its flavour and texture to develop naturally.
During maturation, moisture gradually decreases while aromas become more concentrated. The texture becomes firmer and more structured, creating a satisfying balance between richness and complexity.
This aging process allows the cheese to develop notes commonly associated with premium sheep milk cheeses, including buttery richness, toasted nuts, and subtle pasture characteristics.
