Afuega'l Pitu Cheese Competition

Activity · Morcín, Oviedo, Asturias

Image of Morcín, not of the place itself.

It began at La Foz de Morcín in January 1981 to rescue a cheese that had almost disappeared and is held on the Sunday after San Antón. The effort worked: afuega'l pitu is today the second Asturian cheese by output, after cabrales.
