Burgos is a Spanish fresh cheese made from raw cow milk or ewe milk. It is pure white with a slightly acid and salty flavour, reflecting its brief, unripened make. Traditionally it is used in baking or eaten as a dessert with sugar and honey, and it is also served fresh with fruit or in salads. As a fresh cheese with high moisture and no ripening to develop preservative acidity, it has a short shelf life and must be kept refrigerated and eaten promptly to ensure safety and the best texture.
