Afuega’l pitu ‘Trapu blancu’ cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk. Its shape, resembling that of a small pumpkin, is a result of the production process. The "Trapu roxu" cheese is made by kneading fresh cheese. It has a spicy and acidic flavor, slightly dry and doughy in texture. The red color comes from the use of paprika during its production.
