Lafuente Group is a 100% Spanish company that has been delivering work, dedication, and care in the production of cheese and dairy products for over eighty years.
Quesería Lafuente, located in Heras (Cantabria), was the first company of the group. It was founded by Agustín Lafuente and María Llano in León (Spain) in the 1940s. They later moved to Galicia and finally settled in Cantabria in 1958.
In 2009, the Arriondas plant in Asturias — acquired from Mantequerías Arias — became part of Lafuente Group.
In 2015, Lafuente Group acquired Central Quesera Montesinos, a company specializing in goat cheese. Its plant in Jumilla (Murcia), established in 1978, positioned the group as a leading company in the dairy sector.
In 2024, Lafuente Group acquired Spanish Cheese, a company known for its assortments of sheep cheeses. It creates unique proposals that both renew and enhance the flavor of traditional cheeses (such as sheep and brie) through innovative infusion and seasoning techniques. Its production facility is located in Albacete.
Today, Lafuente Group is an international benchmark in the cheese industry. We have been inter-suppliers for Mercadona since 2007, and we export our products to more than forty countries across five continents.
Lafuente Group combines a deep respect for tradition with continuous innovation to produce an extensive range of cheeses for both Retail and HoReCa, as well as a wide variety of products and services for the Food Industry.
We produce fresh cheeses following traditional methods, offered in practical packaging designed for easy use and storage. We also produce curd cheese and ricotta, lactic paste cheeses, mold-ripened varieties, natural or spiced options, and even IQF frozen formats.
In pressed paste cheeses, our standout product is the Murcia al Vino with Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.), internationally recognized under the brand Drunken Goat.
We also produce versatile processed cheese, available in individually wrapped slices, ideal for sandwiches and burgers.
Through Spanish Cheese, Lafuente Group also offers Manchego P.D.O. along with a traditional product range full of original and exclusive cheese varieties.
This wide assortment of products and formats, combined with our state-of-the-art facilities —which meet the highest standards of quality and food safety— and our R&D teams, reflects our drive to constantly improve and innovate: our Ideas in Cheese.
Lafuente Group is a trusted partner not only for retail chains —under both our own brands and private labels— but also for the HoReCa sector, for which we offer our Professional Line, and for the Food Industry.
