This allows the sheep to have a nutrient rich and varied diet whilst also fertilising the fields for future years of crop growth.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParaje Sotuélamos is a small, artisanal factory, which takes its name from the local district, Sotuélamos. Two friends, Francisco and Pedro, were very regular customers in the 80’s and when the opportunity arose to take over the business in 1985, they jumped at the offer, despite not having previous experience in the dairy industry. From there, they learned the trade and introduced a range of new flavoured Manchegos, including versions with rosemary and truffle.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2017, modern premises were purchased and became the logistics and ripening centre of the business.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, both Francisco and Pedro sadly passed away and the business is now carried on by their families.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlavour Profile\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTierno is a very young, Manchego style cheese which is bouncy, smooth and soft in texture, with a delicate, milky flavour and slight sweetness.
