This is Cabrales, the most famous Asturias-native cheese.... and boy is it strong. If it tells you anything, when we bought it, even though it was wrapped up in several layers of foil and in plastic wrap, the shopkeeper still insisted that she put a few coffeebeans in our bag to help combat the smell for the ride home.
When Pedro told me that we were going to stop in a small town to buy "corbatas," silly me translated that literally my head to think that he meant we were going to buy neckties. I mean, hey, I was just going with the flow. When we arrived at this supposedly famous corbatas shop, I quickly realized that this wasn't the case and in fact, there is a small croissant-like pastery like what you see here which are literally called "neck ties."
