This year, Llagar de Colloto, a restaurant in Oviedo, Spain, paid a whopping 30,000 euros for a piece of Cabrales cheese made by hand from cow and goat milk and matured for several months in a cave in Los Picos de Europa mountains. Made by the\u00a0Los Puertos cheese factory from Poo de Cabrales, the 2.2kg piece of cheese was selected by the jury as the best of the cheeses of fifteen producers who participated in the contest and was the most coveted in the subsequent auction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cabrales.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Asturnut\/Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>We knew we had a good cheese, but also knew that it is very difficult to win,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telecinco.es\/noticias\/curioso\/20230827\/queso-cabrales-vendido-30000-euros-subasta-record-mundo_18_010321557.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said Guillermo Pend\u00e1s Bada<\/a>, maker of the winning cheese, which matured for ten months\u00a0in a cave\u00a0at 1,500 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Llagar de Colloto has been outbidding everyone for the best piece of Cabrales cheese for a few years now. In 2018, this restaurant paid 14,300 euros for the winning piece of the contest, and a year later, it spent 20,500 euros for the best-rated cheese. Now, it once again spent a crazy amount on the piece of Cabrales and set a world record in the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"1XeJRTIEEWQ\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GASTRONOM\u00cdA | El queso m\u00e1s caro del mundo se subasta por 30.000 euros | EL PA\u00cdS\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1XeJRTIEEWQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cabrales is a natural cheese made by hand either from raw cow\u2019s milk or a mixture of two or three kinds of milk \u2013 cow, sheep, and goat \u2013 that matures in natural caves in the Picos de Europa for several months.
