Elevate entertaining with a robust Spanish cheese that swings sweet and savory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crafted from both cow\u2019s and goat\u2019s milk in the mountainous region of Le\u00f3n, Spain, Valde\u00f3n is an artisan cheese that has a rich and distinctively tangy taste with a silky texture. This versatile cheese is not only beautiful to cook with, it\u2019s also one that can stand on its own when paired with a glass of Spanish red wine, chutney, and crackers. These recipes are inspired by my career in restaurants, from cookbooks I\u2019ve written, and by my family holiday traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Valde\u00f3n-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Steak Frites and Chimichurri<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The crust on this beef tenderloin is inspired from a dish at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport, Maine. Slightly spicy chimichurri adds a lively kick when paired with the equally piquant cheese. This recipe will yield enough crust for 6 to 8 steaks, so feel free to freeze the unused portion for a future meal. If you\u2019re short on time, use your favorite frozen grocery store fries.<\/div>\n
