Cabrales Blue Cheese  
A popular variety of farmhouse blue cheese produced in and around the town of Cabrales in Northwest Spain. Produced in limited quantities, it is made primarily from cow's milk, with a small amount of goat and sheep's milk added. The cheese is then allowed to age in naturally formed caves where it develops a strong, rich piquant flavor and a crumbly but creamy smooth texture. It cures naturally from the outside inward, producing a distinct aroma and smooth texture. The cheese is wrapped in foil with the Cabrales "DenominaciĆ³n de Origen" Regulatory Board logo. The foil wrapping preserves and enhances the flavor, while the yellow rind provides a pungent aroma. Cabrales is an excellent cheese to be served with fruit and nuts or added to a salad.
