CENTRAL LECHERA GALLEGA

A few months ago a new path was embarked on, a new human team has picked up the witness of a family saga giving way to a new vision of the Company, which respecting the essence of those elements that have brought us here, wants to incorporate others that allow it to achieve new achievements. New formats, new image, new suppliers, new relationship with the environment: farmers, institutions, distribution... everything is new, except the essence, which remains the same as always.

Central Lechera Gallega is a company that has been making cheese for more than 60 years, its main brand is Palo Santo, which arises from recovering the formula used by the monks of a monastery near Cuntis in 1720 in Galicia, Spain. A monk used a "holy stick" to remove the curd from cow's milk, from there they made a semi-soft paste cheese, milky in color, subtle aroma and mild flavor, the cheese matured for several months in the convent's cellars, currently it is manufactured the cheese with its characteristic engraving of the shell and the stick on the surface of the cheese, symbol of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.

We want to offer quality and that is why we take maximum care in all our activities, starting with our main raw material, milk, from the pastures and dairy farms in Galicia, the best milk in Spain comes out, thanks to long-term collaboration agreements. With Galician farmers and dairy cooperatives in our closest environment, we manage to ensure the supply of a raw material of the highest quality, while contributing to the social, economic and environmental sustainability of a basic sector for Galicia.

One of the keys to the success of Central Lechera Gallega has been knowing how to adapt to the times and respond to the needs of specific market segments, far from departing from this path, we want to continue and accentuate this commitment to the specialization and personalization of those formulas that the market demands us, in this new path, the consumer and the improvement of their experience, are the center of our projects and decisions, understanding their new needs, their habits, their preferences, drives us to improve every day and innovate to satisfy them.
