This past weekend, the Portuguese city of Viseu hosted the 36th edition of the World Cheese Awards, an event that brought together 4,786 products from 47 countries.

This edition marked a milestone by becoming the most significant to date, solidifying the competition as the leading event in the international cheese industry.

To achieve a top position at the World Cheese Awards, judges evaluate criteria such as texture, body, appearance, aroma, and of course, flavor.

Silver Medal for Carea Viejo Cheese, Pride of La Mancha

At this prestigious competition, once again, Gómez Moreno Family was awarded a silver medal for its Carea Viejo Cheese.

This artisan cheese, made from raw sheep’s milk, stands out for its intense and sharp flavor—resulting from a slow, refined aging process, built on over a century of cheesemaking tradition that defines our brand.

Our cheesemaking facility and cheeses have a long history of recognition thanks to our dedication to traditional craftsmanship.

However, the silver medal at the World Cheese Awards represents international recognition that goes beyond the borders of La Mancha and enhances the value of our cheeses on a global scale.

This achievement fills us with pride and proves that the effort and dedication we put into each of our products have an impact that transcends cultures and palates.

The Carea Viejo Cheese from Gómez Moreno Family is undoubtedly a tribute to cheesemaking know-how and a showcase of the excellence that defines the artisanal products of our region.

This award not only reinforces our commitment to quality but also motivates us to continue bringing the authentic Manchego flavor to the most demanding corners of the world.
