Artequeso, D.O. cheese

Our cheeses are produced in “Finca La Prudenciana”, an agricultural and cattle raising family owned property located in Tembleque, in the heart of “La Mancha” region.

We are already the fourth generation of the Alvarez Valera family, devoted to a family business that started  with farming and was later completed by breeding Manchego sheep.

Our more representative cheeses that constitute the most important volume of production and sales, are the Manchego Artisan D.O. raw milk cheeses commercialized with the brand ARTEQUESO.

These cheeses are produced with raw Manchego sheep´s milk of the highest quality, collected from selected herds from the same area, that maintain a rigorously supervised nourishment.

Produced following the most strict artisan tradition, keeping an absolute control over each of the processing steps: curd cutting, whey drainage, salting and drying; all of it finished by a careful and unforced ageing process at controlled temperature and humidity.
