The cured cheese has a very intense straw-yellow rind with strong consistency and firmness. Its internal color is a pale yellow, with abundant and scattered eyes, and an acidified lactic odor. The nose offers hints of pasture and cereals, dry hay, and toasted almonds, and in the mouth, it has low elasticity, buttery sensation and leaves a slightly spicy aftertaste with hints of toasted pine nuts.
