The valley’s namesake has a cheesy reputation. The fabrication of Queso Roncal, a cheese made from the milk of the Pyrenee’s Rasa sheep, is its primary enterprise. The pungent, oily cheese ranks up there with Manchego and Cabrales in terms of name recognition. Others know Roncal not for its cheese, but for the famous Spanish tenor Julián Gayarre who was born here. His remains are entombed in an ornate mausoleum in the village’s cemetery and his former home has been converted into the Museo-Casa de Julán Gayarre.
