SAVEL is one of the most iconic creations from Airas Moniz, a Galician cheesemaker based in Chantada (Lugo), known for its artisanal approach, exclusive use of Jersey cow’s milk, and strong commitment to quality from the source. Aged for just two months, this blue cheese stands out for its creamy texture and remarkable balance between elegance and intensity. The buttery and creamy notes, typical of pasture-fed Jersey milk, blend with more primitive undertones and a refined bouquet on the palate.
Selected by the expert jury of the Cheese From Spain Awards 2026, SAVEL embodies innovation while honoring the Spanish cheesemaking tradition. Its unique character and export potential have made it one of the most outstanding cheeses in the competition. This recognition paves the way for its presence at key trade fairs and international visibility campaigns, aligned with the awards’ mission to promote the excellence of Spanish cheese beyond our borders.
