Queserías Picos de Europa, SL IGP QUESO DE VALDEON

Queserías Picos de Europa is located in Posada de Valdeón, the main town in the Valdeón valley, in the heart of the Picos de Europa National Park.
With the help of two brothers, Tomás and Javier Alonso, we started our activity more than 70 years ago. We are the third generation of a family business founded in the 70's by our grandfather. We faithfully follow everything we have learned to maintain the essence that makes us different. The Blue Cheese of Valdeón is our legacy and the best kept secret. Thanks to the way in which we elaborate it, as we have learned from our ancestors, every day is more recognized both inside and outside our borders.The Blue Cheese is one of our legacies and the way to authenticate it, is the seal/stamp of the Protected Geographical Indication (IGP). In this way, we intend to consolidate a traditional product and essential presence in Leonese gastronomy.Quality and food safety are fundamental for us. In order to guarantee them, we have an Integrated Food Safety Management System based on the HACCP principles (HACCP) through which we are able to offer our customers and consumers not only high quality products but also safe products, controlling all our productive process, from raw materials to final products.
