History


Quesos El Pastor was born in 1967 as a humble family dairy. More than 50 years later, it is a clear reference in the production of quality cheese. The company, founded in 1967 by brothers Lorenzo, Salvador and Domingo, is currently run by Marco Rodríguez, the second generation of the family. Years ago, the grandfather Salvador Rodríguez, whose name accompanies the company's name, had already taken some steps in the cheese world.

The tireless work of the entire team of Quesos El Pastor has been recognized by numerous prizes and awards. In this way, the tenacity and effort of each and every person who is part of this great family is valued.

This great team pampers the quality of the products and puts them on the market in the most appropriate way. Every detail of the process is taken care of, in order to satisfy the needs of the consumer.
