Cabrales

Aged in Asturian mountain caves. Among the fiercest cheeses on earth.

An illustrated wedge of Cabrales

Drawn by the app from this cheese’s own record — paste, rind and texture come from the data, not a stock library.

Made in the Picos de Europa from cow's milk, or a blend with goat and sheep when the seasons allow, and matured in natural limestone caves where humidity sits near saturation and the blue arrives without being inoculated.

It is intense: salty, acidic, spicy, with a long burning finish. Asturians drink cider with it. A small amount goes a very long way.
