Description
Kamiku Smoked Sheep Cheese combines the richness of traditional sheep milk cheese with the depth and complexity created through traditional smoking methods.
Produced in Navarra in the Spanish Pyrenees, this cheese reflects centuries of mountain farming traditions while offering a distinctive flavour profile rarely encountered outside specialist European cheese markets.
Made from 100% sheep milk sourced from approximately 5,000 grazing sheep, it delivers a unique balance between creamy dairy richness and elegant smoky aromas.
Origin
The Spanish Pyrenees have long been associated with traditional livestock farming and artisanal food production.
Kamiku’s sheep graze in a region known for its mountain pastures, fresh air, and centuries-old shepherding culture. These natural conditions contribute to the quality of the milk and form the foundation of every cheese produced by the dairy.
The result is a product that reflects not only the milk itself but also the landscape from which it originates.
100% Sheep Milk
Kamiku uses only sheep milk for this cheese.
The naturally high butterfat and protein content of sheep milk creates a dense, creamy texture and concentrated flavour that serves as the perfect foundation for smoking.
Unlike many smoked cheeses where the smoke dominates the product, Kamiku’s sheep milk character remains clearly present throughout the tasting experience.
The result is balance rather than intensity.
Traditional Smoking Process
After maturation, the cheese undergoes a traditional smoking process designed to enhance rather than overpower the natural character of the cheese.
The smoking adds layers of aroma and complexity while preserving the rich and creamy profile created by the sheep milk.
The combination of mountain dairy traditions and smoking techniques produces a cheese with remarkable depth and individuality.
