What is Queso Iberico?

Queso Ibérico (Ibérico cheese) is a cheese from the Iberian Peninsula, primarily made in Spain and Portugal. It is made from a blend of cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk, or sometimes exclusively from sheep's milk. The flavor ranges from nutty to tangy, while the texture can vary from creamy to firm. This versatile cheese can be enjoyed on its own or used in traditional dishes, adding distinct flavors to Iberian cuisine.
