Gamonéu cheese

Asturian: Quesu Gamonéu) is a fatty Spanish cheese made in certain parts of the Principality of Asturias.

It is a lightly smoked cheese with a thin, natural rind that is coloured brownish with some red, green and blue patches.

Similar to other cheeses in the region, Gamonéu is made from a combination of cow, goat and sheep milks.

Gamonéu cheese is sold in the form of a truckle cylinders with flat ends in weights varying between 500g (18 oz) to 7 kg (15 lbs).

Gamonéu del Puertu is harder and drier and is the rarer of the two forms as production is limited to the summer months in the uplands.
