This DOP blue cheese is made in the artisan tradition by rural dairy farmers, from a blend of cow, goat and sheep’s milk. All of the milk used in the production must come exclusively from the herds raised in a small zone of production in Northern Spain. Cabrales is aged 2-6 months in natural caves in the mountains nearby. It has a whiter, more compact texture when young. When mature, it darkens in color to almost grayish with more blue veining and becomes less compact. It has a sharp, spicy, flavor with a long finish and is perfect for those who like their blues with a bite.
Chilly and humid conditions in the caves facilitate the growth of bluish-green penicillium mould on this highly prized cheese. Unlike other blue cheeses injected with penicillium, Cabrales cures from the outside of the cheese to the inward.
A finished Cabrales can be characterized by its strong, penetrating aroma and sharp, acidic, slightly salty taste. It pairs well with red wine, fresh figs, salami, sweet sherry and dry sausages. The cheese is treasured as a base for sauces, for melting over grilled or roasted meats and goes well along with baguette slices, crackers, or fruit.

SHIPPING (BASED ON ACTUAL CARRIER RATES)
We offer nationwide shipping on the majority of our in-store products, we primarily utilize UPS for most services and you can see our prices and options at checkout.
Since many of our products are perishable we package orders in temperature controlled boxes to minimize the amount of time products are out of ideal temperatures, many require expedited shipping services, and we cannot ship certain highly perishable items like raw meats and meal kits, to ensure product quality. If you place an order for perishable items later in the week we may hold your order until Monday to ensure you shipment doesn't sit over a long weekend in a truck or warehouse.
We are located at just north of 32nd avenue on Lowell Blvd in the Denver Highlands neighborhood, just west of Downtown Denver
