Quesería Ovín: Craftsmanship, Sustainability, and Asturian Flavor

A Cheese-Making Tradition Rooted in the Land

Welcome to Quesería Ovín, a unique corner in the heart of Asturias where cheese-making craftsmanship blends with the natural beauty of a rural landscape. Since 1996, this small family cheese shop has been dedicated to producing exquisite quality cheeses, following traditional methods and principles of sustainability.

The history of Quesería Ovín dates back to the 1990s, when three young food technicians, Joaquín Sánchez, Isabel Fernández, and Isaura Souza, decided to embark on a new adventure and start their own artisanal cheese shop. Taking advantage of a space that had previously been a stable in the town of Ovín, in the municipality of Nava, these visionary entrepreneurs set out to renovate and adapt the space, bringing to life a dream that has now become a reality.

Artisanal and Organic Varieties

Quesería Ovín offers a wide range of artisanal cheeses, each with its own personality and charm. From the classic Queso Ovín de Vaca, with its semi-soft texture and mild flavor with a slight acidic touch, to the creamy and delicate Queso Ecológico, and the intense and aromatic Queso Ovín de Oveja, cheese lovers will find a true delight in this cheese shop.

But the real crown jewel is the Queso Ovín de Cabra, which was awarded the best cheese in Asturias in 2007. With its striated rind and compact interior texture, this cheese captivates the most discerning palates with its creamy notes and a subtle acidic aftertaste.

In addition to these traditional varieties, Quesería Ovín also produces organic cheeses, such as the Queso El Astur, following the practices of organic agriculture and livestock. Being the first artisanal cheese shop in Asturias registered with the COPAE (Council of Organic Production), Quesería Ovín demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment.

Savoring the Essence of Asturias

Beyond the artisanal production and the quality of its products, Quesería Ovín offers its visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the authentic Asturian culture. Located in a picturesque rural landscape, in the shadow of the Sierra de Peñamayor and next to the Fuensanta spa, the cheese shop stands as a true oasis of tradition and flavor.

Cheese lovers can enjoy a complete experience, tasting the exquisite Ovín cheeses accompanied by sweets, jams, nuts, or a good red wine. And, of course, the essential Asturian cider, that nectar of the gods that perfectly complements the flavor of these artisanal cheeses, cannot be missed.

Regardless of your preference, at Quesería Ovín you will find an authentic and delicious immersion in the gastronomy and culture of Asturias. Come and discover the true treasure hidden in this small family cheese shop, where tradition, sustainability, and flavor merge into a unique experience.
