Garrotxa is a pressed cheese made from unpasteurized goat's milk. It was originally produced only in the Garrotxa area of Catalonia. It has a firm but creamy white interior, with a natural grey mold rind. Garrotxa is typically produced in small wheels weighing one kilo and measuring approximately 18 centimeters in diameter.
[edit] In popular culture
In the Mythbusters episode Greased Lightning, the Mythbusters found that Garrotxa is an ideal cheese for use as a cannonball, due to its firmness and elasticity.
