El Putxet Cheese Factory
From Masia El Putxet to Montserrat, a tradition that can be visited.
At the foot of the Montserrat mountain, in the historic farmhouse El Putxet , our family has been making mató and cheeses for five generations.

Our flagship product
In the old days, mató was made at Masia El Putxet. My great-grandmother made it with the day's milk and loaded it onto a mule to take it up to Montserrat every morning.
The journey was long and demanding: about four hours uphill and three downhill, but the effort was worth it to bring to the mountain what would eventually become known as the Montserrat mató.
Today we continue to make our products with the same respect for tradition, but adapted to modern times. Now the journey to Montserrat is by car and takes less than 20 minutes, although the philosophy remains the same:
Honest product, careful preparation and authentic flavor.
At the heart of every product is a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
Visit us
We believe that stories are best understood when they are experienced.
That's why we're opening our doors so you can visit our cheese factory, learn firsthand how we make mató (a type of fresh cheese), discover the history of Masia El Putxet, and understand why Montserrat is an integral part of our product. Our tours are designed for families, groups, and anyone who loves gastronomy and the local area.
Online Store
If you can't come, we'll bring it to your home.
In our online store you'll find mató and cheeses ready to enjoy at home. From the farm to your table.
Because some things change—the mule, the road, the weather—but what's important remains the same:
the flavor, the history, and the commitment to the product.
