Link with the geographical area Historical link Gamonéu cheese is linked to preserving the areas age-old tradition of extensive livestock farming. Its origins can be traced back at least as far as the 17th century, when it fed the poor of the district, according to a letter written to King Philip IV in 1641 on the subject of grazing pastureland.
Other historical documents Madozs 18th-century Diccionario Geográfico Geographical Dictionary contain several references to this cheese being a staple in the local peoples diet and to this being an area that specialised in livestock farming, where mixed flocks of sheep and herds of cattle and goats were raised by their owners, making use of the highland plains for summer grazing.
Because of these circumstances and because the area was quite cut off from markets, the herdsmen themselves began making the milk into cheese long ago.
Natural link Cangas de Onís and Onís, both covering a large part of the Cornión, the western massif of the Picos de Europa.
The most striking aspect of this mountain range is its abrupt topography, with elevations ranging from 80 metres above sea level in the central stretch of the River Sella to 2 648 metres above sea level at the Torre Cerredo peak.
This highland terrain is characterised by predominant limestone, steep slopes and step-like geomorphologic formations that result in two distinct environments: one in the valleys and the other high in the mountain passes.
