Country: Spain
Type: Goat & Cow blue
I love blue cheese. Valdeon is a lovely sharp blue, creamy and slightly salty-sweet with a good kick for an after taste. The rind is sharp and bitter from the sycamore leaf wrapping (don't eat the leaves, they are toxic). There are some grassy undertones, and the cheese melts on the tongue nicely. Goes great with something fruity and slightly acidic, like a plum. Also lovely with apples, dried or fresh. I can eat a big block of it (the one in the picture is about 150 grams and I polished it off at lunch), but most people probably would prefer it on a tasting plater with something else.
