Tetilla cheese
Tetilla is a regional cow's-milk cheese made in Galicia, in north-western Spain. It is a common element in Galician cuisine, often used as a dessert. It has had Denominación de Origen certification since 1993 and European DOP certification since 1996.
It was originally produced in small towns such as Arzúa, Melide, Curtis or Sobrado dos Monxes, near the border between the provinces of A Coruña and Pontevedra; it is now produced throughout Galicia. It is made with milk from three breeds of cattle: imported Friesian and Parda Alpina, and the local Rubia Gallega of Galicia.
