Valdeon Blue Cheese
$21.99/lb
Valdeon is an intense blue cheese from Spain, similar to Cabrales - another Spanish blue - but milder. This is not to say that Valdeon is a "mild" cheese. Queso de Valdeon is intense, salty and wonderfully sharp. The blue-veining is predominant, giving it a gritty texture sometimes, but the mouthfeel is creamy and buttery, balancing out the intensity nicely. The cheese is produced from pasteurized cow and goats milk in the mountains of Leon, Spain, and aged in caves. Valdeon is a bold, very flavorful cheese, not for the milder palates. Serve with cured and smoked meats. Pair with a sweet wine, such as Muscat, Sherry or Port. Bring to room temperature before serving.
