The Selecto Vega Tordin Cabrales Cheese is artisanally made with raw cow's milk in the Cabrales municipality (Asturias).
Cabrales Cheese is one of the most famous Asturian cheeses in one of the regions with the greatest variety of cheeses in Europe (Asturias has more than 42 varieties of cheese) and has the Protected Designation of Origin of Cabrales.
It has a creamy, firm, and melting texture on the palate.
Intense flavor, with emerging dairy notes, a slight sweetness, and a touch of saltiness. Persistent aftertaste with prominent hints of nuts and spices, with a gentle spicy touch at the end.
It stands out for its intense and characteristic aroma of cave, humidity, and penicillium.
Pieces specially selected through periodic tastings and transported, over 500 meters, in insulated refrigerators on the backs of artisans to mature in natural caves that are very difficult to access, in the heart of the Picos de Europa.
A small cheese factory that continues the family legacy as the sixth generation in the production of this delicacy, always respecting the philosophy of select and artisanal products. This has led them to win six medals in the last edition of the World Cheese Awards 2021-2022 held in Oviedo, including the Gold Medal for the Selecto Vega Tordin Cabrales Cheese.
