Carlos, The Bullying Sheep

There are flavors that tell stories. In each wedge of La Oveja que Bala cheese there are decades of wisdom, artisan hands and a heritage that has not lost its essence. Since the 1950s, this cheesemaking family has lived by and for the countryside, caring for their sheep and transforming their milk into a delicacy that delights the most demanding palate.

It all began in Pozuelo de Calatrava, with the grandparents of Carlos Hernández, the current leader of the project. Today, in Carrión de los Condes (Palencia), La Oveja que Bala is much more than a cheese factory: it is a declaration of love for tradition, good workmanship and the flavor that only time can give.

Carlos represents the third generation of a cheese-making saga that has managed to maintain the quality, authenticity and soul of its products. Artisan cheeses made as before, without haste, without additives, with raw sheep’s milk, patience and expert hands that mold each piece as if it were unique. Because it is.

The name says it all: “La Oveja que Bala” is a tribute to its roots, to those animals that have given so much, and to a trade that refuses to disappear. Each cheese is a piece of history, a texture that caresses the palate and a flavor that speaks of the countryside, of slow fire and love for what is well done.
