Paipa cheese is a semi-hard, semi-fat, and semi-aged[2] cheese produced solely in the Valley of Sogamoso, which includes the towns of Paipa and Sotaquirá[3] (Boyacá Department), due to its protected denomination of origin status granted by the Colombian government.[4]
History[edit]
Paipa cheese is the reinvention of Reinoso cheese from the region and has been made for more than 100 years. Its history is related to haciendas in Boyacá.[5][6]
Its name is due to the municipality of Paipa, where it was sold on market days to travelers and passers. [7]
