I attest that this cheese is made like a century ago, it is a very traditional artisan cheese that in Asturias has already won several awards

A cheese that goes with everything and, in my opinion, is unrivaled for elevating a good salad. It's also surprisingly good on its own, almost too much so, as it tends to stick to your throat. I think for Asturians, Afuega'l Pitu is something like strangling a chicken... better with a bit of quince paste, hehe.
