Last Friday, 10/20/2023, was a day full of emotions for our cheese factory Quesos del Casar, and especially for GRAN CASAR, our star brand of Torta del Casar PDO.

Mario Blasco, manager of Quesos del Casar, collected for the second consecutive year the winning diploma of the XXIII Casar Torta Week tasting-contest, which is in its 29th edition. Mario remembered his parents, Engracia and Adrián, and had some emotional words for the entire human team behind GRAN CASAR and who makes it possible for our Torta del Casar DOP to be the most demanded and appreciated.

«I know that the Torta del Casar Designation of Origin is in good hands». With these words, the presenter Gran Wyoming, accompanied by the journalist Sandra Sabatés and the Cáceres actress, Cristina Gallego, thanked him for the award that the Torta del Casar PDO Regulatory Council gave him that night.

Official personalities such as the president of the Cáceres Provincial Council also attended, Miguel Ángel Morales, the president of the Council of the Protected Designation of Origin of Torta del Casar, Ángel Pacheco and the president of the Assembly of Extremadura, Blanca Martín, who spoke a few words with various recognitions of the good work that is being done so that our community has a greater and better national and international presence.
