This wonderful cheese is from the remote mountains of Asturias.  It is a traditional artisan cheese with a lilting name: Taramundi. Made by small family cheesemakers, Taramundi is a truly handcrafted cheese with an approachable buttery flavor.

This flavorful cheese is firm with a creamy flavor and a slight sharpness.  It is perfect for melting and sauces, as well as a great pairing with crisp white wines and apple ciders.

For centuries, Asturian families have produced this cheese in their homes and farms. During recent years, artisans from this ancient mountainous region have relaunched the cheese by forming a cooperative so that Taramundi cheese would not disappear.  

Taramundi is a blend of cow's milk and goat's milk, which is aged from 60 to 90 days. It has an exceptional taste due to its creamy yet firm texture from two different milk sources, with a hint of “toasted” flavors.
