asturiana

Asturiana is the feminine form of the Spanish adjective and demonym asturiano, used to indicate origin or association with Asturias, an autonomous community in northwest Spain. The term functions as both an adjective and a noun: as an adjective it describes things linked to Asturias; as a noun it can refer to a woman from Asturias, for example "una asturiana." The word appears in cultural, culinary, and commercial contexts to signal provenance.

In agriculture, Asturiana designates a cattle breed developed in Asturias. The best-known variant is Asturiana de la Montaña, a dual-purpose breed historically raised for dairy and beef in the region and still used in livestock programs.

In branding and everyday language, asturiana is used on labels and descriptions to indicate origin from Asturias, including foods, beverages, crafts, and tourism-related products. The feminine form reflects Spanish gender agreement, as with other demonyms and regional adjectives.

Overall, asturiana serves as a regional identifier within Spanish, denoting connection to Asturias in a range of contexts without implying political status.
