Queso
Gandería Quintián
An artisan cheese dairy in Lugo with a tradition of livestock farming since the 1960s.
In 2006, Chelo and Julio took over from the next generation and took over the legacy of the family farm, promoting an innovative project that in 2010 was a pioneer in the direct sale of pasteurised fresh milk (without preservatives) from their free-range cows.
In 2020 Gandería Quintián started a new project with the launch of its cheese dairy. Where they make gourmet cheeses moulded by hand one by one, with the seal of Artesanía Alimentaria de Galicia.
The soul of the product
- The raw material, its own fresh cow’s milk.
- 100% handmade. Moulded by hand piece by piece.
- No additives: only pasteurised milk, natural rennet and salt.
Their cheeses, Néboa and Agarimo, mature in an underground cellar, the sancta sanctorum of the Quintián space. The place where each piece quietly acquires its own personality with an ideal percentage of humidity.
Quintián (Municipality of O Páramo, Lugo)
A visionary family project very faithful to the Lugo countryside. Gandería Quintián
Philosophy
Cultivate the land with respect and proudly guard the Galician cultural legacy, weaving the future from its roots in Lugo.
It is different because
Their top priority is the care of their cows and their welfare.
They do not only produce and elaborate artisan gourmet cheeses. They create and provide emotions through flavour and aromas.
Gandería Quintián stands on a mountainside six metres below ground in the interior of Lugo, specifically in the municipality of O Páramo, in front of a beautiful valley that they themselves call ‘their balcony to nature’.
Their cheese dairy is an example of sustainable construction with low visual impact that harmonises with its rural surroundings while respecting the ecosystem and the aesthetics of its territory.
