Arzúa-Ulloa cheese is a cow's milk cheese made in the Spanish province of Galicia, with Arzúa-A Ulloa Protected Denomination of Origin status.^[1]

It is a soft cheese, made from raw or pasteurized milk, has a minimum maturity period of six days, and has a lenticular shape, or cylindrical with rounded edges. Its rind is thin and pliant, medium to dark yellow, bright, clean and smooth. The cheese itself is uniform in color between white and pale yellow. It is soft and creamy without cracks but has a few small holes or bubbles. The flavour is slightly sweet and grassy.^[2]

It is similar in flavor to its cousin cheese, Tetilla. Unlike Tetilla cheese, Arzúa-Ulloa has a soft pliant rind, and has a disc shape.

There are two other labels that share the Denomination of Origin status. Farm Arzúa-Ulloa (Arzúa-Ulloa de Granxa) cheese has the particularity that it comes entirely from cows on the same farm, though its characteristics are otherwise similar. Aged Arzúa-Ulloa (Arzúa-Ulloa curado) cheese has been aged for at least six months, with the result that it is firm in texture throughout.
