GASTRONOMY: DO PROTEGIDAS DE ASTURIAS
One more year Correos travels through the stamps to savor the products of our land.If last year it was Cantabria, this year its neighbor Asturias is the protagonist of one of the most innovative series of Philately.
The Protected Designation of Origin aims to preserve the name and quality of the products as well as their cultivation and manufacture in an artisanal way.
Asturias can be proud of displaying this distinction in many of its products.
The cheeses are the protagonists of this denomination, with four of them having the Protected Designation of Origin of Asturias. Cabrales cheese, made from three milks and matured in natural caves in the Picos de Europa, has a strong flavor that makes it unique; or the Gamonéu cheese, naturally smoked, is a blue cheese typical of the village of the same name; Casín cheese, of complex and prolonged elaboration, is also manufactured by hand in the council of Caso; and finally the Afuega´l Pitu cheese, made from cow's milk in farmhouses located on mountain slopes between the Narcea and Sella rivers.
Asturian cider is made from a wide variety of apples and is one of the most representative symbols of Asturias. The cultivation of different varieties of apple, its manufacture as well as the way to serve it, poured, make the cider a tradition.
Asturian Faba, with Protection is a dry bean that must have a minimum length of 18 mm. Protagonist of countless recipes, its version accompanied by compango or clams are the best known.
The block sheet features these last two products as protagonists. One of the stamps collects the image of a spoonful of fabada coming out of the plate; the other, to a glass of cider at the time of receiving the liquid when pouring. This stamp has the particularity, as has already happened with other philatelic issues, of picking up a slight cider flavor.
