Valdeon Blue

Valdeón is a cheese with a blue veined paste, made all year round with cow’s and goat’s milk. It has a rough, irregular rind in dark grey shades with little red and bluish marks. The paste has a soft texture and a pale-yellow colour and it is full of small cavities where a white and greenish blue mould is concentrated. Valdeón Valley is a deep tectonic trough hidden on the southern spur of the Europa Peaks in the province of León. The rich aromatic milk produced in these fertile green pastures makes of Valdeon cheese one of the best Spanish blue cheeses. Its main secret lies in the quality of the milk produced in this region
