More information:

The red Afuega'l Pitu is a fatty cheese made with whole cow's milk from the Frisona or Asturiana de los Valles breeds and their crosses, with a soft paste with a reddish orange color if paprika is added

This cheese is made with milk from the dairy's own cows, which are fed on pasture produced on their farms where the animals are milked daily. Milking takes place twice a day, approximately every twelve hours

This variety of Afuega`l Pitu is truncated cone-shaped, a format acquired by using truncated cone-shaped molds, also called "atroncau roxu". It has a natural rind and a variable consistency depending on the degree of maturity of the cheese and the addition of paprika. It is presented in pieces of approximately 300 grams and vacuum-packed

The Afuega'l Pitu cheese is made with milk from herds located in the protected geographical area. It is one of the most widespread exclusively cow's milk cheeses in Asturias, it was made in the small farms, called caserías, scattered throughout the central Asturian valleys and the mountain slopes between the Narcea and Sella rivers.

The cattle feed follows traditional practices, based on the use of the meadows by grazing the dairy herds throughout the year and supplemented with fresh grass, hay and silage obtained on the farms themselves.
