Generic Afuega'l Pitu

Spain, Asturias

Afuega'l Pitu is a traditional Spanish cheese hailing from the lush pastures of Asturias. Made from cow's milk, its name translates to 'suffocate the rooster', a nod to its unique shape and the way it's formed. This cheese is steeped in local history, often served during festive occasions, reflecting the region's rich dairy culture. Its distinctive orange hue comes from the use of paprika, which infuses both color and flavor, making it a true representation of Asturian craftsmanship.
