Buelles cheese
Buelles (also known as Queso de La Chivita) is made from goats’ milk or a mixture of cows’ and goats’ milk and is from Buelles in the Peñamellera Baja.
To make the cheese, rennet to the milk and heated up to 30 º for half an hour. The curd is cut into small pieces, and brought back to a higher temperature than previously. It is left to drain and put into moulds, then pressed to complete the draining process. The exterior is salted and left to mature for two months, whilst periodically being turned.
The cheese is cylindrical in shape with a soft, white interior, which will be more yellow if cows’ milk is added, and can have a mouldy rind. It has a mild aroma and a well- balanced flavour of acidity and slight spiciness.
The cheese is available in various sizes.
