To speak of the history of Zacatena is to speak of Las Tablas de Daimiel, as 950 hectares are part of the estate.
An oasis in the La Mancha steppe of high ecological value, which is evident in the quality of our cheeses.
It is known that cheeses have been made since the 16th century from the sheep that graze in the Dehesa Zacatena, which today gives its name to our cheeses. The richness of its pastures, which has been noted in various publications, is due in large part to the Magarza, a high-quality grass for sheep with more than 800 years of history.
From Zacatena, and with the support of the Tablas de Daimiel National Park, a protected area recognized for its unique characteristics and a biosphere reserve, we are reviving the raising of Manchego cattle, transforming their milk into exquisite artisanal Manchego PDO organic cheese, allowing the farm to coexist with the environment.
We are artisans. We continue on the path set since 1990
At Dehesa Zacatena, we continue to work the estate in the traditional way, producing the finest artisan Manchego PDO cheese, while incorporating the necessary requirements to achieve the exclusive organic certification.
Our activity, linked to the production of quality cheese, began in 1990, preserving and maintaining a production model that respects the environment while also adding the technology necessary to guarantee the consistency of our products.
Our cheese factory is exceptional because tradition and quality take precedence over production, seeking that balance between natural ingredients, tradition, and sustainability that results in an ORGANIC product of the highest quality.
