Afuega'l Pitu - Spain

This unpasteurized Spanish cheese from Asturias dates way back. It's known to stick to your palate, hence its name pitu and is best consumed in the spring and winter, as those are peak periods for increased fat content in the cow's milk it's made from. Smooth, soft and sometimes spicy (when rolled in paprika), it's a surefire way to turn any cheese tasting party into a true fiesta.
