What it is
This is a sweet, spreadable confection made from goat's milk. It is cooked slowly until it caramelizes, developing a rich, deep flavor and a thick, luxurious texture. The process of "quemada" refers to the burnt sugar notes that emerge during the caramelization, giving it a distinct taste profile. It is a traditional sweet treat enjoyed in many cultures.
