Cabrales

Blue from Asturias, SpainIn our shop

From the Picos de Europa in Asturias, Cabrales is aged in limestone caves, where the natural moulds turn it into one of the most intense blues in the world. It can be made from cow's milk alone or blended with sheep's and goat's. The texture is soft and creamy, the flavour powerful, spicy and salty. Pair it with a sweet sherry, and approach with respect.
