Hijos de Salvador Rodríguez has been producing cheese for the last 50 years. In the beginning Salvador Rodríguez elaborated the cheese all by himself in his small handicraft business in Santa Cristina de la Polvorosa. He even picked up the milk from the local shepards with a donkey and the traditional earthern recipients.
With very limited means he carried on with his activities until his sons joined him and the business started to expand. To meet the increasing demand they first bought a small van, because they not only had to pick up more milk but also distribute the cheese. Taking into account the limited technological advances of those years (1955) this is how the business started to grow very slowly.

The first important investment was the acquisition of land in 1957 where the Rodríguez family built a small plant. Various additional investments allowed to increase the production and improve the quality and hygiene of the products.

In 1982 the small family business became an Ltd.. And since then thanks to the intense commercial activity and the participation in national and international fairs the products are now sold all over Spain and various European, Amercian and Asian countries.

In three generations Hijos de Salvador Rodríguez has passed from the artisan elaboration to a complex production process employing the latest equipment and strictest hygienic and quality control systems, but always making a special point of maintaining the quality of their centennial artisan tradition.
