Penãmellera cheeses

Peñamellera Cheese is the cheese made in the traditional way of the Upper Valley of Peñamellera by its shepherds. A cheese that has been on the verge of disappearing, and that today is still more alive than ever.

In 1984 eight farmers founded the Cooperative with the aim of selling milk from their herds. Little by little, based on effort and sacrifice, it has managed to adapt the product to new times with new varieties (Smoked, Cider and Cueva de Llonín) and without a doubt keep alive the essence of the place where it is made.
