Quesería Felipa
A dairy in the register of the Queso Majorero protected designation of origin, based at Casillas del Ángel, an inland village belonging to the municipality of Puerto del Rosario. The Quesos Felipa brand appears on the list of the denomination, which requires milk from the majorera goat and set production practices. The village lies on the central plain of Fuerteventura, on the axis linking the capital with the middle of the island, in country with a long livestock tradition.
Quesos Felipa produces at Casillas del Ángel, a village on the central plain of Fuerteventura that belongs to the municipality of Puerto del Rosario. The brand appears in the register of the Queso Majorero protected designation of origin, the mark that covers the island's goat cheese and sets both the origin of the milk and the way the cheese is made and matured. The milk comes from the majorera goat, a breed adapted to dry ground and thin pasture, and that diet shows in the flavour.
The village sits on the route between the capital and the middle of the island, in a flat, open landscape of malpaís and low hills where livestock has been the main activity for generations. Majorero cheeses differ from one another in the treatment of the rind, which may be rubbed with gofio, paprika or oil, and in how long they are matured, from soft young pieces to sharper cured ones. For anyone crossing inland Fuerteventura, a stop here fits well into the route towards Betancuria and Vega de Río Palmas.
