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 comes in pieces of approximately 300 grams and hard plastic packaging
The Afuega'l Pitu cheese is made with milk from herds located in the protected geographical area. It is one of the most widespread cheeses made exclusively from cow's milk in Asturias, it was made on small farms, called caserías, scattered throughout the central Asturian valleys and the mountain slopes between the rivers Narcea and Sella.
The feeding of the cattle follows traditional practices, based on the use of the meadows by grazing the dairy herds all year round and supplemented with fresh grass, hay and silage obtained on the farms themselves.
