Cheese of the Week - Cabrales

Cabrales is a blue cheese made in the Asturias region of Spain from a mixture of cow's, sheep's and goat's milks. The texture is creamy and the inside mold is so vividly blue that it almost looks purple. An intensely-flavored blue cheese, it is best savored with a deep Spanish red wine, preferably one from the north of the country.

UPDATE: I shared this cheese with a friend this weekend, and it completely lived up to its hype. It was particularly creamy and crumbly, with a nice pungent blue mold flavor, and it paired so well with the Marques de Caceres Rioja Tinto 2001 that we drank with it.
