Cabrales D.O. (Cow, Goat)

Cabrales Raw Milk

Made with raw cow and goat's milk and aged for 3 months in natural caves where penicillium mold is present. Because it is produced in a totally artisanal manner every Cabrales is different. Some have more blue veining than others. Some are stronger in flavor as well. Every piece has its own defined characteristics. Authentic Cabrales cheese is always wrapped in foil.

Origin: Asturias

Tasting Notes: This cheese has an intense aroma when ripe. It crumbles when sliced thinly and melts in the mouth rendering a blend of complex flavors of earthy tones, a right amount of saltiness and piquant finishing touches.

Asturians consume this cheese very ripe with a dark blue interior- but in general new comers trying this cheese prefer a younger Cabrales that is not as aggressive. For those that prefer a milder flavor this wedge of Cabrales is perhaps your best best since mini versions tend to be a little stronger and have more blue veined interiors.

Approximate Weight of Wedge: 0.70 lbs

$14.00 / wedge 

Always allow your cheese to get to room temperature before consuming it.
