The consumption of cheese by Spanish households amounted to 407 million kilograms in 2020, an increase compared to previous years. It would seem that an upward trend is coming back in cheese consumption across the nation. Spain produces a wide range of cheeses, some with denomination of origin, and other with different specificities.
