Aragones

Rennet: Animal

Milk: Pasteurized Cow's Milk

Cheese: Type 4

Related: Brigid's Abbey, Chimay

Origin: Made by Julian in Rioja Country, Spain

Age: 3-6 months.

Story: Aragones is a rare cheese type in Spain. Spain has very few washed rind and very few cows milk cheeses. Julian makes the only other common Spanish washed rind, Pata Cabra. The cheese is more in a Belgian idiom. The paste is smooth and thick, in that zone between sliceable and spoonable and has a lovely balance of fruity flavors and funky rich flavors.

Pairings: Belgian ale, Rioja Reds, Bourbons
