La Peral, a single producer of blue, hails from the remote area of Asturias in the north of Spain. Wedged between the ocean and the mountains, this is a less well-travelled area of Spain in which the traditions of yesterday are largely intact. La Peral is produced by Le¢n Alvarez in the village of the same name. Made from cow’s milk, this small format blue has a full-bodied taste which is a testament to the high quality of milk he uses. Aging is at least 60-80 days, but sometimes it is up to 4 or more months. 8/2#
