From Zamora, Spain

The company's origins are undoubtedly rooted in a great enthusiasm. Located in Santibáñez de Vidriales, in the Benavente y Los Valles area of the Zamora province, the company was founded in 1995 by Juan Uña Prieto, a veterinarian by profession. He decided to create a small cheese factory to process the milk from his family's flock of sheep.

Juan's passion for sheep and cheese has been present since his birth, as his family has been dedicated to shepherding for several generations.

Soon, the initial factory facilities became insufficient, and the milk from the family flock was not enough to meet the growing demand for cheese. This led the company to undertake a series of expansions over the years, resulting in the current facilities of approximately 7500 square meters with modern machinery. In fact, in 2022, the company received the award for technological innovation from the Zamora Chamber of Commerce. This modern machinery perfectly complements traditional production methods.

Juan has always sought a balance between quality and modernity, consistently supporting innovations and technological advancements that enhance the quality of the product.

Different from any cheese I've tried before. The flavor and juiciness imparted by the oil are spectacular. I used the oil to marinate another Manchego cheese cut into cubes.
