Full-fat cheese (fresh or matured) made from whole cow’s milk of the Frisona or Asturiana de los Valles breeds and their crossbreeds. It has a distinctive adhesive texture, becoming firmer and more compact as it matures. It displays an orange colour due to the addition of paprika. It offers fresh acidic and milky flavours and aromas, with buttery notes that evolve into subtle hints of yeast over time.

Afuega'l Pitu cheese is a type of cheese with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certification, produced in the Principality of Asturias, Spain.

Afuega'l Pitu cheese is one of the oldest and most widespread cheeses in Asturias, and not surprisingly, one of the most popular. It varies in shape (Atroncáu, meaning truncated cone-shaped; and Trapu, more rounded) and in color (Blancu or Roxu).
