阿斯图里亚斯, 是西班牙北部的一片区域, 延伸至坎塔布连海, 被称作"奶酪之地". 在这崎岖不平的小山之中隐藏着数不清的洞穴, 几个世纪以来这里的居民都使用洞穴在窖藏奶酪.
Asturias, a sliver of northern Spain that rests on the Bay of Biscay, calls itself "The Land of Cheese." There are thousands of caves hidden in the hills of this rugged region, and for centuries residents have been using them to age cheese.

Raquel Viejo在她的奶酪洞穴里窖藏Cabrales-一种蓝奶酪, 这名字还是Asturias建立之后才取的呢.

Cabrales奶酪盛放在架子上. 在当地食用Cabrales最合适的食物便是苹果酒啦.

Etxberria先生的奶酪奶源来自于他自己圈养的山羊, 大部分他都进行了身份标记. 他说他们喂食青草能让山羊产出带有三叶草芬芳的羊奶-浓烈, 乳白, 香草味(?).
The milk from Mr. Etxberria’s cheese comes from his flock of sheep, many of which he has named. He says the sweet green grass they feed on creates the fragrant taste of clovers — strong, milky and grassy.
