First international export
The day we "left home" to discover a new world was very special for all of us who had believed in Vega Sotuélamos. We verified that what was so special to us was also appreciated in places with different palates and customs. And that can only be achieved if you really offer something unique.

From this moment on, El Bonillo and Chinchilla are united by our plants.
Always in the memory
The two founders of the company, Francisco and Pedro, left us the same year with a difference of three months, Don Francisco in the month of April, and Don Pedro in the month of August of the same year, the latter already very ill, never getting to find out about his friend's death. Since then his memory inspires us every day, to continue his legacy, and the passion that both had for this cheese.
