Quesería Menorquina has been distinguished with the ARA Balears award for Economic Initiative, a recognition of the recovery and transformation trajectory of one of the most emblematic companies in the agri-food sector of the Islands.

Quesería Menorquina, formerly known as El Caserío, is gradually returning to its roots after leaving behind the critical situation, on the brink of closure, first caused by the departure of Kraft in 2008, and then by the management of the Ruiz Mateos family. For ten years, between 2011 and 2021, the labor company created by the workers and the management team has allowed the Mahón plant to be sustained, but without escaping bankruptcy proceedings, until the influx of capital and new investors finally allowed it to turn the situation around.
