Asturias has in its territory one of the largest cheese spots in Europe. In its production, cow, sheep or goat milks are involved, alone or mixed together. The resulting types of cheese are very varied, from soft and creamy to strong and spicy, smoked, fresh, hard, soft or veined pasta, etc. The cheese activity, in its origins, became practically essential because of the need, then, to achieve a safe method of preservation for a surplus of milk, which otherwise was difficult to use in a region of such complex orography and population scattered This cheese tradition has been maintained.
