EL GRAN CARDENAL is a family business founded in 1951 and currently run by the third generation. The main activity is the elaboration of Queso Castellano "EL GRAN CARDENAL".
We use only fresh milk collected 365 days a year from nearby cattle farms in Castilla y León, without powdered milk, without dyes or preservatives. All our cheeses are made following our family recipe.
