Doña Leonor de Alburquerque Artisanal Cheese Shop: Cheese Tradition with Innovative Flavors
Welcome to Our Specialty Shop for Artisanal Cheeses
At Doña Leonor de Alburquerque, we take pride in our long cheese-making tradition dating back to the 15th century. Our cheese shop is the result of a fusion between the ancestral and the contemporary, where each cheese is handcrafted with the best ingredients from our Extremadura region.
Our History and Philosophy
Our inspiration comes from the historical figure of Doña Leonor de Alburquerque, whose vision revolutionized the local cheese industry. In the Middle Ages, the communal lands known as Los Baldíos allowed entire families to dedicate themselves to pastoralism and develop a unique cheese-making tradition. Since then, Alburquerque has become synonymous with excellence in artisanal cheeses.
Today, we keep this heritage alive, combining ancestral techniques with innovative flavors. Each of our cheeses and melted cheese creams is a work of art, made with goat's milk and the finest local ingredients, such as Iberian ham, boletus, olives, onions, and coffee. Our artisanal process ensures that every product is unique, full of flavor, and authentic.
