Description

100% raw cow’s milk cheese matured in cave with natural mold growth.
Interior ivory-white veined and bluish-green color; with an intense and penetrating odor; and a balanced flavor with slight spiciness. The ripening process of this Cabrales cheese takes place in the Picos de Europa (Asturias, Spain), after being climbed one by one on foot or by donkey to the natural caves in the mountains. In these caves, conditions of 90% relative humidity and a temperature of between 8 and 12 °C allow the natural development of Penicillium-type molds, which give the cheese its characteristic blue-green streaks. During the ripening process, which lasts between two and four months, the position of the pieces inside the cave is changed to season each of the sides. Once the cheese is ready for consumption, it is wrapped in green aluminum foil, labeled with green and red bands, characteristic of this Denomination of Origin, and the specific numbering of the Regulatory Council is added. This cheese is magic, unique among thousands, carefully selected to offer you a cheese with history and of the highest quality, a cheese that inevitably becomes the best Cabrales you have ever eaten in your life.
