Valdeón D.O. (also known as Picos Blue)

We are delighted to once again be able to present to you this wonderful Spanish blue cheese.

It is from the Picos de Europa mountains in Castilla y León. The cheese is made in Posada de Valdeón, in the northeast of the province of León, from cow’s milk and a little goat’s milk and is wrapped in maple or chestnut leaves before being sold. The cheese is matured in disused mine entrances in the area which provide ideal levels of humidity for maturation. This creamy cheese has very intense bluing and hint of liquorice on the palate.

A winner!
