Image of Antigua, not of the place itself.

Queso majorero, made from the milk of the majorera goat (with up to 15% sheep's milk in the cured versions), has held Protected Designation of Origin status since 16 February 1996. Cylindrical in shape, with the characteristic palm-leaf pattern on its rind, it is made in fresh, semi-cured and cured varieties; the Museo del Queso Majorero, at the Molino de Antigua, is dedicated to this product.
