Product details & serving guidance
The KING SILO Azul, MAMÁ MARISA is the first of the two blue cheeses that our cheese factory has developed in collaboration with chef José Andrés. Its name is a tribute to the chef's mother because she taught him as a child to love Asturian blue cheeses. When José Andrés' family moved to Catalan lands, his mother prepared apple slices on which she spread Asturian blue cheese and thus traveled with their palate to the green valleys of the Principality.
In large format, the Azul MAMÁ MARISA weighs around 8 kilograms. It is made, like all our cheeses, with raw, whole cow's milk from a single farmer in Asturias and in a completely artisanal way, introducing several innovations in obtaining the curd to achieve fresh cheese that allows us to ripen. desired.
In the process of refining Azul MAMÁ MARISA, we have also introduced various innovations, following chef José Andrés' dream of cooling the Asturian mountains, for which we completely renovated the cheese factory's underground cellar, designing a complex air conditioning system that accurately reproduces optimal conditions of the natural caves, which have allowed us to achieve a creamy blue, with development of elegant Penicillium roquefortis veins. This REY SILO Blue is deep, balanced, with a buttery and velvety texture with resonances in the mouth of green forests and meadows, ripe red fruits, and marine fragrances.
