Cheese from Spain, Canary Islands, north-west Gran Canaria
Queso de Flor de Guía PDOQueso de Flor de Guía
Milk of Canary Island sheep, with up to 40 % cow and 10 % goat milk, is curdled at 28–35 °C with an extract of dried cardoon flowers instead of animal rennet. The curd is cut to rice-to-chickpea size, pressed in a hoop whose base may carry a flower pattern, salted and ripened at least 15 days. Young cheeses are creamy, sour and bitter; long-ripened ones are hard, sharp and coated with oil, paprika or gofio.
Amounts from a sourceThe specifications fix limits, not a recipe. The two documents disagree on size. The 2009 EU single document gives 0.5–5 kg and 15–30 cm across; the 2007 specification gives 2–5 kg and 22–30 cm (20–30 cm for Queso de Guía).
Water extract of dried flower heads of Cynara cardunculus var. ferocissima and Cynara scolymus; the only coagulant for Flor de Guía, at least 50 % of it for Media Flor[guia-sd2009][guia-spec2007][rincon2017]
Washed saltAt most 25 to 30 g per 100 litres of milk
Optional salting of the milk; sea salt on the cheese for about 24 hours[guia-spec2007]
Animal fat or edible vegetable oil, paprika or gofio (optional)

Only cheese made from January to July qualifies, while the sheep graze inside the area. When the sheep dry off, mostly from August to December, the flock is driven to graze outside it (transhumance).

At a glance
Milk of Canary Island sheep, with up to 40 % cow and 10 % goat milk, is curdled at 28–35 °C with an extract of dried cardoon flowers instead of animal rennet. The curd is cut to rice-to-chickpea size, pressed in a hoop whose base may carry a flower pattern, salted and ripened at least 15 days. Young cheeses are creamy, sour and bitter; long-ripened ones are hard, sharp and coated with oil, paprika or gofio. Made in 6 steps over 16 days. The longest step, ripen, turn and rub, takes at least 15 days (Gobierno de Canarias 2007) and runs at 4–18 °C (Gobierno de Canarias 2007).
The milk is set with an extract of dried cardoon flowers, as in Torta del Casar and Serra da Estrela. Cow milk may be mixed into the sheep milk, and the cheese is made only from January to July.
Milk
At least 60 % Canary sheep milk; up to 40 % cow and 10 % goat milk
Coagulant
Cardoon flower only (Flor de Guía); at least 50 % cardoon (Media Flor); animal or plant rennet or other authorised coagulants (Guía)
Ripening
At least 15 days; semi-mature 15–60 days, mature over 60 days
Size
Cylinder 4–6 cm high (Media Flor and Guía 4–8 cm). The 2009 EU single document gives 15–30 cm across and 0.5–5 kg; the 2007 specification gives 22–30 cm across (Guía 20–30 cm) and 2–5 kg.
Queso de Media Flor de GuíaAt least 50 % cardoon coagulant, the rest other authorised rennets; 4–8 cm high.
Queso de GuíaAnimal rennet, plant rennet or authorised cultures; curdled at 30–38 °C for at most an hour.
ArtesanoMade from raw milk of the maker's own animals.
Safety
Cheeses made with raw milk from the maker's own animals may be labelled "artesano". ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity to avoid raw-milk cheeses other than cooked pressed ones such as Comté.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (risks ANSES names for raw-milk cheeses).
The EU single document says flocks and herds of Canary Island breeds were present in these three municipalities before 1526; the 2007 specification gives 1526 as the year the town of Guía was created. The single document attributes the flower-cheese tradition to the native Spanish population that settled on the Guía plateau and says cheesemakers guarded their secret as a treasure to leave to their children. The 2007 specification cites Fray José de Sosa, who in 1678 wrote of the excellence of the cheese made in Guía. The single document adds that an agricultural market, visited mainly by farmers and cheesemakers of the surrounding area, grew up in Guía by the end of the 19th century.
