Raw or pasteurised whole sheep milk from Castile and León is set with rennet at 27–37 °C, cut to rice-sized grains, gently warmed to no more than 39 °C and pressed hard in cylindrical moulds. After dry salting or brining it ripens for at least 30 days, or 60 days for cheeses over 1.5 kg, into a firm, compact ewe cheese with an acid, salty flavour.
The specification allows optional lactic cultures at the renneting stage. In a study, 15 batches of Castellano were made from raw ewes' milk without added starter cultures.

Raw or pasteurised whole sheep milk from Castile and León is set with rennet at 27–37 °C, cut to rice-sized grains, gently warmed to no more than 39 °C and pressed hard in cylindrical moulds. After dry salting or brining it ripens for at least 30 days, or 60 days for cheeses over 1.5 kg, into a firm, compact ewe cheese with an acid, salty flavour. Made in 6 steps over 33 days. The longest step, ripen, takes at least 30 days (ITACyL / MAPA 2020) and runs at 3–18 °C (ITACyL / MAPA 2020). Lactic acid bacteria; in raw-milk cheeses made without added starter their counts correlated with ethyl esters, ethanol and odour quality and Native lactobacilli and Leuconostoc strains, added with a commercial starter in test batches of Castellano against a control with the starter alone; they sped up protein breakdown do most of the fermenting.
Queso Castellano is the region-wide name for Castilian pressed ewe cheese. The specification says its moister paste and slightly lower pH make it taste more acid than similar ewe cheeses, and it allows raw or pasteurised milk and a wide ripening range.
Rind
Well defined and mould-free, with possible band, mould or cloth marks; pale yellow to brown; natural or coated
Paste
Firm and compact, off-white to beige, with few small round holes
Composition
At least 45 % fat in dry matter, at least 45 % dry matter, at most 3.26 % salt in dry matter
Size
Up to 3.8 kg; at most 25 cm across and 15 cm high
Ripening
At least 30 days (1.5 kg or less) or 60 days (larger)
Queso Castellano may be made from raw milk and sold after 30 days. ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than pressed cooked ones such as Gruyère, because of Listeria, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin E. coli. This curd is warmed to no more than 39 °C, so that exception does not cover it.
The specification links the cheese to sheep farming and the wool industry, with the first written mentions at the end of the Middle Ages, when cheese was traded widely and even used as currency in barter among shepherds. It quotes a document of 14 December 1442 that set the price of Castilian cheese by the pound. Shepherds sold cheese at markets such as Villalón and Medina, and the first artisan dairies appeared at the start of the 20th century. The EU registered the name as a PGI in 2020.
