A very special cheese, which can be described as a cousin of Stilton & Gorgonzola. Deep, balanced flavour and a velvety texture, from green Asturian meadows. This creamy and velvety blue cheese is made in Asturias by producers Rey Silo and chef José Andrés. Mamá Marisa is named after the chef's mother, who introduced him to Asturian blue cheeses when he was a child. She would serve apple slices topped with Asturian blue cheese, bringing the flavours of the green valleys of Asturias to their table. The cheese is handcrafted with full-fat cow's milk from a single farm and matured in custom cellars that mimic natural caves for six months. It is produced with a commitment to biodiversity and the Slow Food movement. Combining the best of Stilton and Gorgonzola with hints of Roquefort, its balanced flavours include dairy richness, ripe red fruits, and hints of marine notes. Perfect for cheeseboards, it pairs beautifully with artisanal bread and complements other cheeses.  Net weight: approx. 230g wedge

Spain's mountain Roquefort.  Matured in our Cheese Rooms  A much celebrated and strictly artisan cheese with a crumbly texture that melts in mouth. Matured in mould rich caves, this beautiful cheese conveys an explosion of intense nuttiness and spiciness. The paste is well streaked with blue veins and cavities. A rich dessert wine, like sweet PX sherry, makes a perfect contrast with this cheese. Perfect accompaniment: a slice of quince paste on top to balance the flavours. "The first notes are an explosion of nuttiness on the tongue that turn to a truffle intensity. Then comes a smokiness and finally the long aftertaste: dense, spicy. This is the cheese of the Gods" Will Self Try our Steak with Cabrales Sauce recipe. Net weight: 150g wedge approx.
