Cabrales P.D.O. Cheese Asturias (1.5 kg)

Cabrales cheese is perhaps the most famous in one of the regions with the greatest variety of cheeses in Europe (Asturias has over 42 varieties of cheese). The explanation for this success is due to the respect for the artisanal techniques that govern its production and the particular conditions necessary for its development. Our PDO Cabrales cheese undergoes rigorous analysis and quality controls regarding all its characteristics: color, shape, rind, smell, texture, flavor...

“All of this is achieved with quality milk, with effort, passion, and a love for the work.”

CENTURIES-OLD TRADITION

The limestone terrain that characterizes this Cabrales municipality has given rise to numerous caves that have been used for centuries for the maturation of Cabrales cheese. Most of them are for collective use; their location and the right to use them are passed down from generation to generation. In the cave, the cheese is placed on wooden shelves, where the humidity and temperature cause the characteristic blue-green color of the penicillium fungus, naturally present in the caves, to develop inside. Daily turning, continuous cleaning of the boards and cheeses, and periodic checks to monitor their evolution make the difference in our cheese.
