Zamorano Cheese burst onto the markets in May 1993, the date when it obtained the Designation of Origin mark, which guarantees its special character and, of course, its quality.
Made from unpasteurized sheep’s milk our Designation of Origin “Zamorano Cheese” is the result of the combination of our two native breeds of sheep: the Churra and the Castellana.
This is a mature sheep cheese, made with the greatest care and dedication throughout the process, followed by 6 months of maturation, which converts it into a select cheese. A cheese of intense aroma and flavour.
