Queso Valdeon
I love a good blue cheese and over the holidays, I had a chance to sample some Queso Valdeon which comes from Leon in Spain.
Valdeon can be made from cow or goat milk and the version I had was made from cow's milk. It's a very attractive cheese, a pale yellow with beautiful blue mold--it looks great on a plate. It has a very sharp taste, which kind of reminded me of an aged English Cheddar as it also had a slightly chalky texture, definitely not a creamy blue. It was very piquant, although I like that in a cheese. If you're not a sharp cheese fan, it's not for you, but I think it was a very agreeable blue that I would certainly eat again.
