About Mahon
Mahon is a traditional Spanish cheese hailing from the island of Menorca in the Balearic Islands. Made primarily from cow’s milk, it boasts a rich, buttery flavor with hints of salt and a slightly tangy finish. This semi-hard cheese is traditionally rubbed with olive oil and paprika, giving its rind a distinctive orange hue. Mahon is a versatile addition to Mediterranean cuisine, often enjoyed with bread, olives, or almonds, or grated over dishes for extra flavor. Rich in protein and calcium, Mahon contributes to bone health and muscle maintenance, making it a valuable nutritional choice. However, it is also higher in saturated fat and sodium, which should be considered for those managing heart health or blood pressure. Enjoy Mahon in moderation as part of a balanced diet to savor its unique taste and nutritional benefits.
