Supermercado Unide La Santa

Filo El Cuchillo is a family business with 800 head of native breed cattle that since 2012 has been run by brothers Francisco and Miguel Arbelo, who have as a principle: with “good milk, time and love” a cheese is made that stands out for its aromas and flavor.

If you take a walk around the farm in the early hours of the morning you will see the cattle loose once milked and in the processing room, the milk already curdling in the “curdling vat”. In the store you can buy cheese and other products, such as wine, bread rolls and mojos, which you can taste in its wonderful viewpoint from which you can see the coastline of the north of Tinajo.

It is a small family cheese factory whose processing room is located in the house itself and that since 2021, produces fresh and semi-soft cheeses from goat’s milk of native breed. Aridane, a young man who knows from his ancestors the processing techniques, keeps a respectful grazing of his cattle in the burnt boiler, takes care of the care of the animals, milking, cheese making and delivery to stores. He also makes a cheese by order, a cheese of 2 kilos with a maturation of seven months and if you want to taste all their products, you can find it every Sunday at the Tinajo Farmers’ Market.
