Herencia celebrated World Cheese Day on Saturday, March 27, with an event designed to highlight one of the products most connected to local identity. The program included activities for all ages and took place in two iconic settings: Quesalia and the area surrounding the windmills, one of the municipality’s most recognizable locations.
In this context, with the windmills as a backdrop, one of the event’s highlights occurred: an open tasting led by Cantabrian cheesemaker José María Alonso from the cheese factory Quesoba. During the tasting, attendees had the chance to explore the diversity of cheese, its nuances, and varieties, as well as the uniqueness of the cheese produced in the area, which received special attention during the experience.
The initiative aimed to combine education, tourism, and local products in a participatory format that connected cheese culture with both locals and visitors. In a town where cheese is a key part of the culinary landscape and economy, events like this reinforce the value of local products and promote the municipality as a destination linked to Manchego tradition.
