Finca La Granja: cheese pride
La Granja
The paved courtyards, the wide whitewashed walls, and the wooden pillars shelter our Cheese Factory. Its walls bear witness to the know-how of our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, masters who created some of the best cheeses more than a century ago.
Farmland, Mediterranean mountains and pasture blend into an exciting landscape. Come and discover that tradition, peace and tranquillity of sheep grazing and craftsmanship that has survived over the years can still be experienced in this corner of La Mancha.
You will see the sheep eating peacefully in the grasslands of the estate. If you arrive at the right time, you will also be able to see how the curd is prepared using the raw milk from these animals.
You will witness the tradition, how each mould is filled by hand, how it is introduced in the presses and in brine. You will be intoxicated by the aroma of the chambers where we let the cheese ripen. We will share with you all the care that each phase requires. We will make you feel, in short, our passion for artisanal cheesemaking.
Then comes the best part: the tasting accompanied by regional wine. We will explain every nuance you will feel on your palate, every hint of good cheesemaking that will make its way into your senses. /span>
And you will know. From the moment you discover our Mingolucas, Chisquero and cheese in oil, you will understand why they are internationally renowned as some of the best cheeses in the world.
Walk through these low mountains of Campos de Montiel, very close to the beautiful and well-known villages of Villanueva de los Infantes or Torre Juan Abad. Visiting our Cheese Factory means breathing in a tradition that is impervious to time, participating in a more relaxed way of life, where the senses are more present. Live it.
