La Pasiega de Peña Pelada Queso Nata de Cantabria DOP is a traditional cheese from Cantabria produced under a protected designation of origin system that ensures strict control over origin and quality. It is made from pasteurized cow’s milk sourced from local farms in the region, with a minimum maturation period of around seven days, classifying it as a young yet stabilized cheese.

The texture is soft, creamy, and uniform without holes, with a thin pale yellow rind and a mild, milky, and buttery flavor profile complemented by a light acidic note. Its high fat content contributes to a rich and smooth mouthfeel, while production in La Cavada follows a long-established family tradition combined with regulated DOP standards and local milk sourcing.
