This is a cheese board centerpiece that looks as good as it tastes. Villarejo ages its raw sheep's milk cheese for 8 months and cures the rind in honey and oregano, which gives it a rustic, golden-brown exterior and a savory-sweet, herbal character. It is also lactose-free, so more guests can enjoy it.

For newcomers, it is nutty, rich, and easy to pair. For devoted sheep's milk fans, it is a distinctive aged cheese with a flavorful, hand-finished rind. Serve it with marcona almonds, fruit preserves, or a glass of chilled white wine. The rind is inedible, so trim it before serving.
