La Dama Sagrada, the Sacred Lady, is a raw Murciana goat's milk cheese from Spain, aged at least six months to land in that hard, savory register where the paste tightens up and the flavor concentrates.
The paste is dense and firm, pale ivory, breaking into clean shards under the knife with the occasional crunch of protein crystal from the long aging. On the palate it opens with a real sweetness, almost caramel and toasted coconut, then pulls into toasted hazelnut and a savory grassy depth through the middle. The finish lifts with that distinctive goat's milk tang, a gentle bite that keeps the sweetness honest and lingers well past the swallow.
Six months in, this is right in the sweet spot. Long enough to develop the caramel and the crystals, young enough to still carry the fresh goaty lactic note that sets it apart from a sheep's milk Manchego. A serious aged goat cheese for anyone who thinks goat cheese only means fresh chèvre.
Firm and dense under the knife, breaking into clean shards with tiny protein crystals studded through the paste from the long aging.
Pronounced and layered. Sweet up front, then a savory pull of toasted nuts and caramel, with a tangy goaty finish that keeps it from reading like a straight sheep cheese.
Long and savory, with a tangy goat's milk lift on the back end and a quiet sweetness that lingers past the swallow.
Goaty lactic tang threaded through the paste, kept in check by the months of aging that dry out the milkiness.
Toasted hazelnut and a curious toasted-coconut note through the middle, with a caramel sweetness that builds as the paste warms on the palate.
A light grassy, pastoral note from the raw Murciana milk, more meadow than barnyard.
A gentle tangy lift on the finish rather than true heat, just enough bite to wake up the sweetness.
Natural rind
Natural rind, firm and slightly dusty. Edible if you like the extra savory pull, but most slice it away.
La Dama Sagrada stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Sherry and Tempranillo match the cheese's caramel sweetness and savory depth, while a rich porter picks up the toasted nut and coconut notes.
Marcona almonds echo the toasted nuttiness in the paste, while quince paste and honey lean into the caramel sweetness that builds with age.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
