Quesos de Hualdo is an artisanal cheese producer located in El Carpio de Tajo, Toledo, Spain. The farm raises around 2,000 Manchega sheep, a breed known for its adaptability to the region’s harsh, dry climate. The sheep graze on natural meadows and pastures, contributing to the farm’s circular economy by enriching the land with organic matter. These practices ensure high-quality milk production, producing a range of rich, flavourful cheeses.
