One hundred years of tradition

Estrella La Peral is a cheese from pasteurized cow's milk, straw-white in color, dairy ferments and selected noble molds that give it its characteristic bluish spots. When it is young, it is a semi-blue cheese, with a delicate flavor and a great bouquet. As the days go by, it completes its transformation into a blue cheese, acquiring all its personality, slightly spicy, but without losing an iota of its unctuousness and bouquet.

good blue cheese

I wouldn't say it's at the level of Cabrales, it's just different, although on the palate it's a blue cheese with a lot of strength and personality, not too strong that it encourages you to keep eating without stopping.

For me, better than Cabrales, it spreads very well and you can't stop eating it... it always doesn't last long, that's the worst
