This is a rich and slightly more mild cheese than it's pimenton cousin. It is very versatile. You can slice it up to pair alongside a charcuterie board, or add it to a tapa with chorizo from the region or with a garnish of membrillo. You can also crumble this cheese and add it to the top of a salad or torta, which is a classic open faced sandwich from Asturias.

Refrigerate upon arrival. Keep stored in fridge before and after consuming. Before enjoying your cheese, let it sit outside of cold storage for 30 minutes. If storing your cheese after consuming, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or cloth and place back it back in refrigeration.
