Pepe Bada Cabrales Blue Cheese, 150g

£10.25

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

Net weight: 150g wedge approx.

My first time with the

"My first time with the famous Cabrales. I was not dissapointed. All the things I love and desire from a blue cheese. If you haven't tried it then you are deffinatly missing out. If you love Blue Stillton, Gorgonzola or Roquefort this is your next step up. Top class cheese."
