Tetilla

Named for its evocative breast shape—tetilla means nipple—this semisoft cow’s milk cheese comes from the lushly green, rainy northwestern Galicia region. Surrounded by a waxy yellow rind, the interior is elastic and creamy with the texture of Muenster and a buttery, subtly grassy taste. It’s great as a table cheese or for melting on sandwiches. San Simón, a similar—but rather more interesting—Galician cheese is also worth seeking out.
