the cabezuela is a vital and personal project of the Royuela-Campos family, whose objective is to understand the territory as its own part where sustainable intervention is essential for the future. The herds of native goats, the Guadarrama goat, have been in the mountains of Madrid since at least the 17th century, giving non-speculative value to milk is what drives them to make cheese and dairy products from local producers.
It has a stall in the market Vallehermoso producers and they make cheese and dairy as a way of life; as a cultural and gastronomic expression of what is today a modern and sustainable way of life.
To start the day, the attending entrepreneurs shared, and in the form of elevator Pitch, what their project consists of and they were able to leave their professional card.

The first step, was to carry out a market study in the area, which led them to the conclusion that there was not much production of goat cheese in Madrid, thus making it an ideal market niche to start their business journey.
As a differential value, the cabezuela visits to small local cheese factories in various countries, learning their way of doing things and later applying them to the production with goat's milk from Madrid. As data, this process, from the visit, acquisition of knowledge and implementation of the final product can take more or less a year of work for each type of cheese.
