Picos Blue, 100g
Discover the bold and tangy flavors of Valdeón Picos Blue, an artisanal blue cheese crafted in the Picos de Europa mountains in northern Spain. This semi-soft cheese is made from a blend of 90% cow's milk and 10% goat's milk, wrapped in maple leaves to enhance its natural character.
Aged in cool, damp cellars, Valdeón develops a rich, creamy texture with striking blue veining and a distinctive aroma, reminiscent of Roquefort but with its own unique twist. Its bold, salty flavor and subtle hints of earth and spice make it a standout on any cheese board.
This versatile cheese is not only delicious on its own, but also perfect for elevating salads, stuffings, quiches, and red meat dishes. It melts beautifully, making it ideal for sauces, dips, or spreading on toast.
With its Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, Valdeón is made according to strict traditional methods, ensuring exceptional quality and taste.
Taste Profile: Fresh, earthy aroma with a hint of blue. Buttery, melt-in-the-mouth texture with nutty, mushroom-like, and mildly spicy flavours.
