History and origin
Paletilla al horno and cheese over a melting layer of Lorenzana butter
Paletilla al horno con queso y lorenzana begins with a distinctly Almería base: toast with Lorenzana butter, salted or unsalted. Paletilla al horno and cheese are arranged on top, allowing the warmth to soften and bind the layers without another sauce.
It usually arrives warm and pairs naturally with a café con leche. More substantial than lorenzana on its own, it has a savoury profile and an especially succulent texture.
The name states the composition directly. It is worth eating freshly made, while the cheese is warm and the bread retains the contrast between its toasted face and soft crumb.
