The Afuega'l Pitu Trapo Blanco cheese is a famous Asturian cheese.
The Afuega'l Pitu Trapo Blanco cheese is easy to recognize due to its pumpkin shape. Its name and characteristic shape come from the fact that during its preparation, they introduce the curd in cloths (trapos) during the whey drainage, which they tie at the top, achieving those peculiar folds. It also stands out for its irregular cut as a result of its self-pressing in gravity.
The Afuega'l Pitu Trapo Blanco cheese has won the bronze medal at the 24th World Cheese Awards held in Portugal, adding to the gold medal won at the same competition in 2021.
The Afuega'l Pitu Trapo Blanco cheese has a very pleasant taste with predominant milky and slightly acidic flavors.
It comes from the Temia Cheese Factory founded in the small village that gives it its name. It is a family business that participates in fairs and competitions, making this cheese a staple on supermarket shelves and in renowned restaurants, crossing borders and even being available for purchase on Fifth Avenue in NY.
