Tradición e historia – SPANISH CHEESE S.L.

Tradition and history

From the cradle of the Manchego PDO cheese

Our Origin

The project SPANISH CHEESE, S.L. tal y como lo conocemos hoy ha pasado por distintas etapas que han dado como resultado una empresa especializada en el procesado y afinado de queso, que exporta sus productos a cerca de 50 países de los cinco continentes. Nacemos en La Mancha con el espíritu de llevar al resto del mundo lo mejor de la alimentación de nuestra tierra y de todo el territorio español. Todo comenzó en el año 1996 cuando se funda el consorcio de empresas ALBATRADE, S.L.was founded in Albacete, a city in the Castilla-La Mancha region. In this consortium, and with the help of UNIÓN QUESERA MANCHEGA, S.A. first and MANTEQUERÍAS ARIAS, S.A. (grupo BONGRAIN) ) later on, we were trained in the world of cheese. After almost a decade of working together, in 2002, SPANISH CHEESE, S.L. was born when concluding an agreement with the multinational that was our mentor and provided us with experience, with know-how and with the goodwill developed jointly during the previous years.

Our traditions…

SPANISH CHEESE, S.L. is a dairy industry established in Albacete, on lands geographically belonging to the Protected Designation of Origin of Manchego cheese. Sheeps of the Manchega breed have grazed in our surroundings for centuries. Their milk is the only one that can be used to obtain one of the most precious foods in our region and in all of Spain: Manchego PDO cheese.

Being the Manchego PDO the SPANISH CHEESE, S.L., from our facilities also come out every week the traditional sheep and goat cheeses that local shepherds have been making since ancient times in a totally artisanal way.

At present, our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology applied to the cheese industry and adapted to the standards of quality and food safety required nowdays. Thanks to that, together with a significant commitment and investment in research and development, and always based on the original mode of cheese production of our ancestors, we have developed a range of traditional products, but full of innovative and exclusive cheeses.
