Valdeon and Figs Bundle

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Our Valdeon, a rich and vibrant Spanish blue cheese, is a blend of cow’s and goat’s milk, originating from the Valdeon region in Spain. Its strong aroma and intense flavors of nuts, herbs, and a hint of spiciness are complemented by a smooth texture that’s slightly crumbly. On the other hand, the Figue de Solliès figs serenade your taste buds with their rich sweetness and soft velvety texture. Grown in France’s Solliès-Pont, these handpicked figs offer glimpses of sweetness akin to honey and caramel. Together, the deep flavor of the Valdeon IGP and the plump, sweet Solliès Pont figs create an enchanting duet, making every bite a luxurious experience.
