The history of Finca Fuentillezjos and its organic manchego cheese goes back in the past, half a century, wow! So many experiences during all this time!! Sadly, we do not keep the car anymore.

Our raison d’être has always been the breeding of organic Manchega sheep. In this time of big efforts, acquired expertise, knowledge and traditions, we have learnt how to best make our organic Manchego cheese, respecting nature, biodiversity and the culture of this land, and to be honest… yes, we are blowing our own trumpet!!

You might guess the reason of our name: Fuentillezjos was given to us long time ago by the Arabs, meaning ‘land of many creeks’. We are located in Poblete (Ciudad Real), in the Campo de Calatrava volcanic zone, one of the largest in Spain. Since more than half a century ago, our family is taking very special care of the surroundings, on the slopes of La Posadilla volcano and quite near to the Guadiana river bends.

We are here today, because our parents have always been in love with countryside life and nature. A feeling they managed to transmit to us. Our first steps were quite spontaneous but today, it all has become our way of life. This strong conviction determined since the beginning our decision of rearing only Manchega sheep in Finca Fuentillezjos, the only breed of our livestock through the years, from whom we make our organic cheese.

From 1996 until 2003 we got the farm ready. We started producing milk and getting to know how to address becoming organic cheese makers for the future.

Now that we have grown, we want to keep on growing together and sharing our ideas with you all. We are keen on improving our organic Manchego cheese more and more, the one we excel at.
