Valdeón

Castile and León, SpainRaw cow's milk

Valdeón is a Spanish blue-veined cheese from the mountainous region of León, made from cow's milk or a blend of cow's, goat's and sheep's milk, with a creamy, crumbly texture and a natural rind traditionally wrapped in leaves. Its bold, salty and spicy flavour features pungent mould aromas and a lingering, slightly fiery finish that intensifies with aging
