Product Description
Cabrales blue cheese is produced only in the village of the same name and three villages of the Penamellera Alta Township located on the northern spur of the Picos de Europa, in eastern Asturias. It is produced in limited quantities, using traditional farmhouse methods, in small family-run dairies of the township. Raw milk, mainly cow's milk, is used to produce it. However, as most farmers keep mixed herds, blends of goat's and ewe's milk are used in the spring and summer. Cabrales is slowly aged in the caves near the Cantabrian Sea, under cold, very humid conditions. Unlike its cousins - Danish Bleu and French Camembert - the blue mold is not artificially injected. It occurs naturally. The cheeses are turned periodically until the paste has been completely grown with mold, acquiring its deep blue veining and resulting in a thick texture with the characteristic creamy and piquant flavor
