La Vaca que ríe Original cheese wedges

La Vaca que ríe, internationally known as The Laughing Cow, is a world-renowned brand of processed cheese products. The brand was created in France in 1921 by Léon Bel and is famous for its iconic illustration of a red cow wearing earrings.

Starting its expansion in the early 20th century, the brand has become a staple in many households across Europe and beyond. In Spain, the product is primarily manufactured in Ulzama (Navarre) by Bel España. It is currently owned by the Bel Group (Groupe Bel), a multinational cheese manufacturer headquartered in Suresnes, France, which continues to be a family-owned enterprise led by the descendants of the founder.
