Valdeón cheese

Valdeón cheese is a Spanish blue cheese. The cheese is made in Posada de Valdeón, in the Castile-Leon region of the northwestern Spain and is wrapped in sycamore maple or chestnut leaves before being sent to market. The cheese has a very intense blue flavor, but is not as yellowed or as biting as its cousin Cabrales.
