Spanish Cheese Culture

Langenhagen, April 22^nd, 2026. Tapas, bocadillos, Manchego – these Spanish classics have strong trend potential. Together with Spain’s leading cheese company TGT (Teodoro García Trabadelo), Uplegger Food Company is now introducing two strong product ranges to the German market with El Galán and La Bocatería – bringing authentic Spanish lifestyle to the chilled cabinets.

“Spanish cheese stands for variety, enjoyment and tradition – exactly what German consumers are looking for today,” Uplegger is convinced. “With El Galán and La Bocatería, we can offer our retail partners products that perfectly combine authenticity and convenience.”

Authentic Manchego

El Galán represents DOP-certified Manchego cheese made from pure sheep’s milk – the most traditional and best-known Spanish cheese variety. El Galán has an ivory-white colour and a strong, distinctive flavour that becomes more intense as it matures.

Tapas for Snacking

La Bocatería offers traditional Spanish cheeses in convenient formats for different consumption occasions: slices for bocadillos and wedges in a typical tapas style. Available are cheeses made from cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk as well as pure sheep’s and pure goat’s milk varieties in different stages of maturation.

Mediterranean Enjoyment

Whether for a cheese board, a sandwich or a tapas evening, El Galán and La Bocatería bring a piece of Spanish lifestyle into everyday life and meet the growing demand for authentic, international cheese specialties in the chilled cabinet.
