Queso de Valdeon IGP

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Queso de Valdeon IGP, with its vibrant exterior, is a visual and gastronomic feast. The blue mould on its surface is picturesque, while the creaminess of the cheese tantalises your palate. A slight spiciness weaves its way through the nuts’ tangy accents, commanding your attention and making each bite memorable.

The alternating temperatures in these caves lend it a specific hue, texture and flavour that sets it apart from other cheeses. This careful process results in cheese that’s rich and boasts a complex aroma, with the flavours deepening the longer it is left to mature.
