Tupi is a traditional cheese, found throughout the Pyrenees Mountains of Catalonia. It’s made from hard goat cheese softened with olive oil and Aguardiente liqueur. The mixture is left to age in a small ceramic jar called a ‘tupi’ in catalan. The result is a powerful cheese with a delightfully pungent flavour accented with liqueur. Originally, this kind of cheese may have been a way to preserve surplus cheese by mixing it with olive oil and liqueur. Over the centuries, this was refined to be an exquisite and quite coveted product whose production is tightly controlled. Tupi cheese can be mixed with tomato sauce, butter or honey in order to moderate its aromatic flavor. This cheese doesn’t need to be refrigerated, so in a minute’s notice, you may spread it on pieces of crusty fresh bread or crackers for a wonderful canape. In Catalonia, this mixture is often spread on slices of homemade bread and accompanied with very cold cava.
