• Afuega’l pitu an unpasteurised cow’s milk cheese from Astruias. The name comes from its tendency to stick to a person’s palate (“pitu”). It is considered to be one of the oldest Spanish cheeses.

The cheese is made from cow’s milk from cows milked in the afternoon or evening and heated between 25º C and 30º C (77-86ºF) with a coagulant added so the milk forms curds. After midday the following day, the curds are cut and deposited in a mold to drain. From the mold it is passed to a sack or bag (“Fardela”) for the “Trapu” version or left with the form given by the mold (“Troncado”-Trunk) like a bishop’s mitre. Salt is added, as is paprika (pimentón) if desired. After a few days the period of curing starts with aging occurring on wooden planks for a period between a week and several months. The resulting cheese is normally white (blanco), with a red (rojo) variety is also made where paprika (pimentón) and/or cayenne pepper are added to the cheese before moulding to shape using the form (“Troncado”-Trunk) or cloth bag (“Trapo” o “Trapu”).
