About Gamonéu Cheese

Gamoneu is a traditional Spanish cheese from Asturias, crafted using a blend of unpasteurized cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk. This hard, artisan cheese has a pale yellow color and a distinctive smoky aroma. Its flavor profile is a rich combination of buttery and nutty notes, with a hint of smokiness and a touch of spiciness. Gamoneu is known for its complex taste and is typically enjoyed as part of a cheese board or paired with rustic bread and wine. The cheese is also referred to as Gamonedo or Queso de Gamonéu.
