The Extremaduran region of "La Serena" has known for centuries the secret of a magnificent cheese: La Torta de la Serena, which was born as a legacy of its climate and pastures, and which today reaches us as a creamy and exquisite delicacy. Lácteos de Castuera S.L., under the brand La Castuereña, has been making this cheese for years with a simple and natural recipe: Race, wisdom and patience. It has won several Spanish regional awards as best La Serena cheese.
