Leonora is a delicious cheese. A semi-soft goat's milk cheese with a rich cream-colored center and a gray ash rind, a little like a young Humboldt Fog with the ash on the outside. This one comes from Spain, the Spanish province and city of León. The labled indicated that Leonora is made from pasteurized milk but my experience shows that labels printed by small cheese shops are often wrong. Very often. Some online sites say Leonora is is unpasteurized but I can't find a definitive source to contradict the sticker.
