Valdeón

Pronounced vahl-day-ohn

Valdeón is a rich and creamy, full-flavored cow and goat's milk blue cheese, stronger than Stilton but less intense than Cabrales. The Valdeón wheels are wrapped in Sycamore leaves which contribute to their distinctive appearance and complex flavor. Valdeón has  won 20 awards and was named best blue cheese in a 2017 national competition in Spain. This cheese pairs well with wines made from the Gamay grape, such as Beaujolais, as well as Muscats. This cheese is delicious with smoked and cured meats, and simply divine melted on top of a hanger steak.

Each cheese comes with a fromager note (describing the cheese with beverage pairing suggestions) and a cheese serving tag identifying its name, origin and milk type.
