Don Juan Cabrales PDO

A bold blue cheese from Asturias, made with raw cow’s milk or a mix with sheep’s and goat’s milk, and aged in natural mountain caves to develop its strong flavor and aroma.

Cabrales is produced using raw cow’s milk, or a blend with sheep’s and goat’s milk, sourced from mountain farms in Asturias, in the Picos de Europa national park. After shaping, the cheese is aged in natural caves, where humidity and temperature create ideal conditions for blue mold to develop.

During aging, each wheel is carefully turned and monitored by hand. The cave environment gives Cabrales its distinctive blue veins, strong aroma, and intense, lasting flavor. This process has remained unchanged for generations, preserving the unique identity of this traditional Asturian cheese.

The PDO protects the origin, the raw milk, the cave aging, and traditional production, ensuring Cabrales continues to represent the bold heritage of Asturias.
