Queso de Flor de Guía

The story of a great cheese if ever there was one

Back in time, the locals decided that it was time to make the recipe for the famous ‘queso de flor’ a well-kept secret and took it to Montaña Alta, a small hamlet tucked away in the higher reaches of Santa María de Guía. This unbeatable and inimitable cheese was kept secret, only being passed down from one generation to other by the locals, and only very rarely was it divulged to some relative who was not immediate family, as rarely indeed as a rainy day in Maspalomas.
