León cheese
.
Also known as Queso de Oseja de Sajambre or Queso de Vaca de León, León cheese is produced from unpasteurised cows’ milk, mainly in the villages of De Soto and Oseja Sajambre (Leon).
The cheese is very similar to the Asturian Los Beyos cheese except that León is always made with cows’ milk.
Matured for around 8 months, the cheese has a soft, compact texture and a hard, rough, yellow-striped rind. It has a strong flavour, which is acidic and slightly bitter. It is also less buttery than Los Beyos cheese.
The weight of the cheese can vary from 600 g -1 kg and it measures 12 to 20 cm in diameter, with a height of 30 to 40 cm.
