Cheesy Quotations to Inspire Creative Thinking

Valden is a rich, creamy, intensely-flavored cow and goats milk blue cheese, saltier than Stilton and tamer than Cabrales. The Valden wheels are wrapped in Sycamore leaves, which contribute to their distinctive appearance and complex flavor. Valden was named best blue cheese in Spains 2003 national competition and pairs well with wines made from the gamay grape, such as Beaujolais cru and Muscat. pThe origin of Valden cheese is very ancient. The area for making Valden cheese is concentrated in the Valden valley, in the mountains of the Picos de Europa.pValden is often confused with Cabrales; these are two different cheeses, although having strong similarities. You can distinguish them by their wrapping - Valden is wrapped in chestnut or sycamore maple leaves while Cabrales in foil. Valden is less intense and has fewer blue veins than Cabrales because the Valden caves are a little drier.PWe do not carry the Cabrales at this time.
