The name Tetilla is Galician for ? small breast?, which describes the shape of the cheese. a pear-shaped cone topped by a nipple. Tetilla is a semisoft cow’s milk cheese aged 15-20 days. very creamy. It got its shape from the teats of a cow. In Galicia, they copied this shape as an homage, as there are lots of cows in the area so a lot of the region’s cheeses are made with cow’s milk. 6/2
