Rich, earthy, hint of bitterness. Cut off top, scoop and share like a Vacherin. Traditional Torta. Winner: Silver at the World Cheese Awards 2023 There is a tradition in south-west Spain, and over the border in Portugal, of making ewes' milk cheeses using cardoon thistle rennet, resulting in  full-bodied cheeses with a soft, sometimes liquid interior. Queserías de Barros makes an excellent example using the milk of the indigenous Merino sheep. The cheese has an earthy aroma and the soft paste is creamy, rich, salty and full flavoured with a hint of bitterness on the finish. Leave it out of the fridge at least for an hour before eating to warm up and enjoy the gooey centre with breadsticks or crudités.  To learn more about this incredible cheese, watch the video here.

Intensely spicy, a big beast of a cheese. Cave-aged. 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.  

Tangy with creamy, buttery texture. Mountain blue cheese wrapped in maple leaves. A lot going on. The Valdeón Picos Blue is a pasteurised blue cheese made from a blend of approximately 90% cows' and 10% goats' milk, and animal rennet.The Picos Blue is a semi soft blue cheese created in the Picos de Europa mountains of northern Spain.  Bold and salty, the uniqueness of this cheese lies in the manufacturing process.

It has a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), meaning it is made to strict criteria using high quality ingredients.  Taste profile: Fresh and earthy aroma with hints of blue. A buttery, melt in the mouth texture, with nutty, mushroomy, sometimes spicy flavour.
