2 OVER 50 YEARS OF FAMILY CHEESE TRADITION 1967 Quesos El Pastor was born in 1967 as a humble family cheese business. Today, 50 years later, it is a clear benchmark in the elaboration of quality cheese. In 1998, it inaugurated its new pressed paste cheese production plant. At a later stage, in 2014, the lactic fermentation cheese plant came into operation (log of soft cheese). The relentless work of the whole human team at Quesos El Pastor has been recognised by means of numerous awards and prizes. In this way, the determination and effort made by each and every one of the people who are a part of this large family is valued. This large team pays special attention to the quality of the products and puts them onto the market in the most appropriate way. Every detail of the process is carried out with care, with the objective of satisfying the requirements of the consumer. Quesos El Pastor knows no boundaries and its cheeses have a presence in over 60 countries. As proof of their labour as ambassador of the Spanish Brand around the world, in 2015 they received the Spanish Food Award for Food Internationalisation.
