Queso Cabrales – Spanish Blue Cheese DOP, Cave-Aged

Spain's legendary blue cheese — bold, intense, and cave-aged in Asturias. Cabrales DOP is matured in natural limestone caves of the Picos de Europa mountains, where it develops its powerful aroma, creamy paste, and striking blue-green veining.

• DOP-protected blue cheese from Asturias
• Cave-aged in the Picos de Europa for an intense, complex flavor
• Creamy, pungent, and unforgettable — for serious cheese lovers
• ~5 lb piece

Ships cold-packed with insulation and gel packs to preserve freshness in transit — cold shipping is included in the price.

Storing & Serving

On arrival: unwrap from the shipping packaging and refrigerate — the vegetable drawer is ideal. Before serving: take it out 30 to 45 minutes ahead so the paste softens and the aroma opens up. Cut from the center outward so everyone gets a share of the veining. Storing: wrap in wax paper or parchment, never plastic wrap.

A strong aroma on unwrapping is expected — this is a cave-aged blue. Let it breathe a few minutes and it settles. To drink: Cabrales wants something sweet alongside it, such as a Pedro Ximénez sherry.
