In the Mountain of Asturias, looking at the Bay of cantabric Sea...

La Peral is a small village in the council of Illas, in Asturias, nestled in a natural environment of green pastures, on the slope of Mount "La Garita", on the way to the port of La Reigada, at an altitude of 600 meters, from where it looks to the blue of the Cantabrian Sea.

It is in this natural enclave where we make our cheeses that satisfy everyone, since they are neither strong nor soft cheeses, which makes them highly appreciated by the culinary art.
