Want to discover what distinguishes Spanish cheeses? Seals and craftsmanship define a superlative standard Across the peninsula and even on the Balearic and Canary Islands, very high-level, top-tier cheeses are produced. Thanks to the combination of several key factors, today you can enjoy a mouth-watering delicacy. One of these is the artisan tradition kept alive by farming families devoted daily to raising mainly sheep and goats, and also cattle. It is that craftsmanship in the production process that results in superlative quality. Added to this is the careful protection of very specific areas that have cheese as a distinguishing and leading element. Those regions, larger or smaller, set in valleys, mountains, or meadows, structure the local and rural economy around a unique product. In many parts of Spain, the cheese is recognized with a European quality seal such as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). There are many examples we could mention here, from PDO Queso Manchego to Cabrales or Arzúa-Ulloa. In total, there are 26 Spanish cheeses tied to a territory, born from exclusive breeds, fed on the best pastures and made following special methods. In the end, everything overseen by the Regulatory Council makes it possible to obtain an incomparable and unmistakable food, worthy of achieving extra quality.
