Elaboration
Casín cheese is made with whole, unpasteurized milk, rich in butter, and, if possible, from the native mountain cattle breed: the Casín cow. After the milk has curdled, it is drained in colanders and then wrapped in cloths, where it continues to expel liquid for three or more days. After this time, the gorollo kneading process begins, using a table or rabilar machine. When the artisan decides that the gorollo process will be the last, the resulting masses are shaped into spherical pieces by hand, resulting in flattened circular pieces 15 to 20 cm in diameter, 4 to 7 cm high, and weighing between 250 and 600 grams.
Once the cheese has taken its final shape, it is decorated with handmade wooden reliefs (frames) that print the name of the artisan, a password, the name of the town, decorative motifs, etc. on the cheese. The cheeses made by artisan Marigel Álvarez bear the coat of arms of the municipality of Caso as a frame, surrounded by the words "quesu casín" and the initials MA.
Redes Cheese Factory
To say Casín cheese is to say Marigel Álvarez. Born in Mieres, Oviedo, and raised in Germany, she nurtured an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age, which led her, in the late 1980s, to take a chance on a product that, at the time, was clearly in decline. In addition to learning how to make the cheese, she had to source milk, open marketing channels, and, above all, transform the cheese's spicy, pungent flavor into a taste appreciated by today's palates, more refined than in the past. She has participated in countless fairs, both in Asturias and abroad, in her quest to make this cheese known and appreciated.
