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. 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). Lactic acid bacteria of the raw or treated milk does most of the fermenting.
Cardoon flower extract · 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]
At most 25 to 30 g per 100 litres of milk
Washed sea salt · Optional salting of the milk; dry salt on the cheese for about 24 hours[guia-spec2007]
Animal fat or edible vegetable oil, paprika or gofio (optional) · Rubbed on cheeses ripened over 60 days[guia-spec2007]

What makes this one different
The milk is set with dried cardoon flowers, as in Torta del Casar and Serra da Estrela, which gives a soft, bitter paste. Cow milk may be mixed into the sheep milk, and the cheese is made only in the January–July season when the flocks are at home.
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 and cultures (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), 15–30 cm across, 0.5–5 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).
Flocks of Canary Island breeds were kept here before the town of Guía was founded in 1526. The specification credits Castilian settlers of the Guía highlands with the cardoon-flower method, which families kept as a secret. Fray José de Sosa praised the cheese of Guía in 1678, and in the late 19th century a cheese market grew up in Guía for farmers of the surrounding highlands.
