novell goat

Pere Antúnez and Imma Llonch founded Formatgeries Montbrú in 1989 at their farm Mas Montbrú, located in Moià (Barcelona). At the beginning as goat farmers, they began to produce artisan Goat Mató Cheese and Fresh Goat Cheese. After a while and seeing that the demand of the cheeses increases they began to improve the installations for the creamery at the farm and increase the collection of cheeses with Semi Matured and Matured goat and sheep cheeses.

In 2010 Montbrú began to produce with Buffalo Catalan milk, we are the first national producers with that kind of milk, right now those cheeses are increasing demand very fast, not only for its organoleptic benefits, like 0% lactose, but for its pure taste.
