Ahumado de Pría

Ahumado de Pría is a Spanish cheese hailing from Asturias. The cheese is made from a mixture of cow's milk and sheep's milk cream. It's usually left to age from 2 to 6 months, and after 2 months it's smoked over beech and oak. Originally, the cheese was produced in shepherd's huts.

Underneath its natural rind, the texture is dense, smooth, elastic, and creamy. The flavors and aromas are milky and smoky. It's recommended to dip Ahumado de Pría in cinnamon, cumin, and breadcrumbs, then fry it. Pair the cheese with a glass of fruity white wine from Galicia.
