Hacendado Queso Semicurado Cortado

Hacendado is the well-known private label brand for food products from the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. This specific product is a 'Queso Semicurado Cortado,' which is a pre-sliced semi-cured cheese typically made from a blend of cow, goat, and sheep milk, as indicated by the animal icons on the packaging.

As a private label product, the cheese is manufactured by one of Mercadona's specialized suppliers (interproveedores). The brand originated in Spain alongside the supermarket chain itself. Mercadona remains a family-owned Spanish company that manages its manufacturing and supply chain primarily through agreements with local Spanish producers to ensure freshness and regional authenticity.

The ultimate owner of the brand is Mercadona S.A., headquartered in Tavernes Blanques, Spain. The company is highly influential in the Spanish retail market and is recognized for its unique 'Total Quality Model' and its heavy reliance on trusted private label brands like Hacendado.
