    I bought a round of Arzua Ulloa in a lovely little shop that only stocked a few foods from Arzua. I believe the people who owned it made the cheese themselves. It was in the old town and was a tiny shop, on the left walking from the direction of...

    No, sorry I don' t know that shop. I visited Arzua only a couple of times in my life. When I visit my homealdea ( not far from Betanzos) I always buy fresh cheese with no brand in a farm near. I like that cheese made of milk from Frisian cows...

    On Wednesday I walked Tres Cantos - Manzanares ( I am not doing the Camino). When crossing Colmenar I asked two locals if they knew about the Camino across Colmenar. None of them knew despite the Camino is well marked.

    I think that in most supers in Galicia you have Arzua - Ulloa and Tetilla. Less frequent are San Simon ( smoked) and Cebreiro ( fresh). All of them are made with cow milk. Those are the four " denominaciones de origen" for Galician cheeses.
