La Peral, Blue Cow, 2.2kg

La Peral Blue Cheese is 2.2kg of La Peral blue cow’s milk cheese from Asturias, creamy and complex, more approachable than Cabrales but carrying the full character of Asturian blue tradition. La Peral blue cheese is the most approachable Asturian blue. As a result, all-cow’s-milk gives a creamier texture and butterier flavour. Furthermore, the 2.2kg format suits a restaurant or catering kitchen. In particular, La Peral suits both a cheese board and a cooking role in cream sauces.

About La Peral Blue Cheese

We source Spanish artisan cheese from specialist producers across Castile, Asturias and Galicia. In particular, Spain’s DOP designations are among the strictest in Europe. As a result, a DOP cheese reflects genuine place and artisan craft. Furthermore, Manchego, Cabrales and San Simón each carry an irreplaceable character. However, style and texture vary considerably with age. In particular, semi-soft, semi-cured and cured stages offer very different eating experiences. Additionally, pairing with Spanish wines and charcuterie brings out the best in every cheese. That combination of protected origin and artisan craft defines every Spanish cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose La Peral Blue Cheese From Us

Using British artisan cheese well rewards the same basic approach as any great cheese: room temperature and good bread. In contrast to serving straight from the fridge, British hard cheeses open up considerably. As a result, always remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. Furthermore, a good Stilton suits port and both suit the end of a fine meal. However, British Cheddar suits a ploughman’s, a sandwich and cooking in equal measure. In particular, many of these cheeses are made in very small quantities by single cheesemakers committed to traditional methods. Moreover, British artisan cheese suits pairing with chutneys, pickles and British ales. Additionally, blues benefit from 45 minutes at room temperature for the fullest flavour. That British artisan quality and diversity define every cheese in this range.
