A hard white cheese made from cows’ milk, it is produced on the island of Minorca off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and named after the port of Mahon on the island. The cheese is known generally for being lightly aromatic, slightly salty and buttery sharp in taste. The salty flavor can come from the sea salt content of the grasses the cows eat since they are on an island. Due to being rubbed with butter or oil as well as paprika during the aging process, the rind generally has an orange color.
