Almogrote is a Canarian sauce with a texture similar to that of pâté, typical of La Gomera. It is one of the most representative recipes of this island and is the result of mixing two basic foods of the area; cured goat’s cheese and pimienta palmera (pepper). Almogrote is actually a recipe for using up hard goat’s cheese. It is also said to be the last trace of a sauce popular in Spain during the Middle Ages known as almodrote.
Today, almogrote is usually served as an appetizer spread on bread or as an accompaniment. The original recipe is made with local goat’s cheese and pimienta picona, a kind of dried pepper with a hot touch.
