Cabrales cheese is a natural cheese made in the artisan tradition by rural dairy farmers. All the milk used in its production must come exclusively from herds raised in a small zone of production in northern Spain. Cabrales is aged from two to six months in natural caves in the mountains nearby. In these caves, the relative humidity is 90% and the temperature varies between 7° and 13° C (45° - 55° F). These conditions favor the development of penicillium molds, yielding veins of blue-greenish color. Cabrales is sharp and tangy, and even more so when made with mixed milks. Like Gorgonzola and Roquefort, it is a famous blue cheese whose name is often copied by inferior imitations.

Beverage to accompany: Rich and fruity wines made with pears or apples
