Our Cheeses

At Quesería Las Cortas we create cheeses that have been developed based on our own recipes to meet the new demand to produce original artisan cheeses with their own unique character and personality.

They are made with raw milk from sheep. It is top quality milk with hygienic sanitary conditions controlled by ourselves at all times.

They are mostly cheeses of sizes ranging from 300g to 2kg wrapped in film or paper. Their presentation is faithful to artisan methods with little packaging, giving it the appearance of a “transparent”, quality product.
