Made by dairy farmers following strict artisan tradition in the north of Spain, this cheese can be made from pure cows’ milk or blended with milk from goats and/or sheep, which can be provide the cheese with a more spicy flavor. After the curds are packed into arnios, salted, cured, and hardened, Cabrales is aged for two to five months in natural caves found in the limestone mountains of the Northern Spain region. These caves are usually between 45-55°F and relative humidity is typically 90%. These conditions are favorable for the development of penicillium moulds, which produces the sought after blue-green veins found throughout the cheese.
