In the late 1970s and early '80s a number of professionals from the city of Barcelona started to move north to the Pyrenees in the search for an improved quality of life. Artisan food production was one of the areas that attracted them, reviving some of the food culture that had vanished over the preceding century. It was in these beautiful surroundings that Tony Chueca opened his dairy in 1980 and began producing a goats' milk cheese that had once been made in the region.
