About Us
The beginning
Founded in 1.951 by Francisco Martín Laredo, in the town of Torrelaguna (Madrid), where he began his career as a cheese master making sheep cheese. Due to the growing demand, in 1.975 the production moves to the heart of Castilla y León, in Medina del Campo (Valladolid), due to the richness and quality of milk in this area.
From then until today, El Gran Cardenal produces a range of cheeses that enjoy great prestige and recognition in the market, which has made our products are found in most supermarkets, hypermarkets and in a large number of specialized stores throughout Spain, as well as more and more countries.
