In El Casar, cheese lovers can explore the authentic cheese-making tradition at Los Casareños. This cheese dairy offers guided tours that reveal the process of making the famous Torta del Casar. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about manufacturing methods and taste ten varieties of cheese. The tasting includes pasteurised cheeses, heat-treated to ensure safety, and cheeses made from raw milk, which add intensity and nuances. In Extremadura, it is not common to mix goat’s, sheep’s and cow’s milk, nor to produce cured cow’s milk cheeses, which makes this experience even more unique and authentic.
Thanks to the preservation of traditional techniques for the extraction of raw materials for the cheese, Los Casareños can keep the regional heritage alive while being, in turn, job creators in the local community.
Their production model allows them to put the highest quality over quantity, allowing them not only to maintain their protected designation of origin but also to be more than competitive as quality standard bearers.
The importance given to this type of production at local level is key. Success lies in having been able to value a unique product and generate a new productive activity around it. Sustainable production enhance job creation, whilst keeping traditions alive and preserving cultural heritage.
