from astoria and northern spain cob rallies blue cheese. it ages and caves and the p cost out of the mountains. spaniard and connie butter arrow has been producing it for over 40 years. and capital cheese is my life. i've always known it. my mother and grandmother both made it and i think my great grandmother to cheese is produced until v. a village with less than $100.00 inhabitants located in the municipality of cobra. las up to 3 types of milk are used from cows, sheep, and goats. that's what lends the cheese, it's intense, sometimes somewhat tart flavor and she has that will that are never the same. tomorrow's will be different than today's. we don't have a strictly defined routine been. the process is natural with an artist and touch with the cheese makers heat the raw milk to $26.00 degrees celsius,

cheese here to store it. you know how much. after a few days, we turn over the wheels and moisten them if necessary to dinner, fight it. after 15 days, we turn them again and check if they need more moisture you mind and we keep going until they're ready for sale. it can take for 5 or even 6 months with a face. oh, cabral. as cheese can only be produced in this municipality. and 3 neighboring ones . it enjoys world wide fame. and as one the prestigious world cheese a word several times. i get the easiest, perfect one, added blue on the inside. ok. copper alice, please always has to be even light blue inside this. and it has to have a very soft consistency, so you can spread it, it and it has to taste good. that's the most important thing. there are about 20 mountainside caves and ca, brothers, and some are open to the public loop. in the ascii

nod to he con, a traditional shop, a specialized and hand crafted gourmet products from a studio for over 60 years. carruthers cheese is a real hit. is leg gabriella. so capital s, cheese stands apart from other blue cheeses good. through its intense, somewhat tight flavor, then so vocal, because dawn, it's a very characteristic taste that is because i want the cheese as easy to combine. assyrians like appear with pretty sweet tastes, like jam or cider. per kilo of cub rallies retails for between 25 and 40 years isn't it's a cheese. i like a lot. i like strong creamy cheese. we always eat it at home. oh no, it's good capillaries. cheese is an ancestral thing here in our story, us humility. every family always has a piece of it in their fred show, but it can be used as an appetizer or as a desert. oh,

to the max. ah, welcome to fun liar put quin keith. go get a clearance. dropoff fantasy leo cocoa go really what a tongue twister i am here in the town with the longest name in all of europe. 123, it's one word with thousands of letters and no spaces. 758 letters. actually i am convinced that this name is just a collection of characters randomly put together, but that's not true at all. there's a reason for this name and it even means something. and that's what i'm going to find out now. but will i learn to pronounce it correctly?
