Ponce de León Chili Chego is a bold Spanish mixed milk cheese crafted from cow’s, goat’s, and sheep’s milk and infused with chili peppers for a spicy, savory finish. Produced in Spain, the cheese combines the buttery richness of cow’s milk, the tang of goat’s milk, and the nutty depth of sheep’s milk into a smooth, semi-firm wheel with balanced heat throughout. The name “Chego” references its Manchego-inspired mixed milk style while highlighting its chili-forward character.

Creamy yet sliceable, Chili Chego delivers notes of sweet cream, toasted nuts, paprika, roasted peppers, and gentle cayenne heat with a savory lingering finish. Approachable but flavorful, it melts beautifully and pairs especially well with charcuterie, crusty bread, olives, beer, Rioja, and spicy cured meats.
