EL ABUELO RUPERTO

Sourced from the experts at East Side Cheese, El Abuelo Ruperto is an artisanal Spanish cheese of rare character and depth. Produced in Murcia from rich, raw sheep’s milk, this cheese is traditionally rubbed with olive oil during aging, creating a smooth, golden rind and an interior that is dense, creamy, and profoundly flavorful.

Its taste is robust yet elegant — with notes of toasted nuts, sweet cream, and a whisper of the Mediterranean countryside. Aged for a minimum of six months, El Abuelo Ruperto pairs beautifully with bold red wines, charcuterie, and figs, offering an unforgettable expression of Spain’s cheese-making heritage.
