Queso Casín | Local Cheese From Caso, Spain | TasteAtlas

Queso Casín

Originating from the Cantabrian Mountains and traditionally produced within the Redes Natural Park in the Province of Asturias, Casín is a semi-hard to hard cheese made with raw, whole milk from the Asturiana de la Montaña, Asturiana de los Valles, and Frisona cow breeds.


It exudes a strong, persistent aroma of lush pastures, and has a well-rounded flavor: buttery to slightly bitter and spicy. The versatile Casín can be enjoyed on its own but it is also often used for preparing a number of delicious croquettes, fritters, Asturian cachopos, stuffed baked apples or even cheese ice cream!
