They committed themselves to only using milk from the ancient breeds of this area: Payoyo goats and Grazalema Merina sheep. They wander the wild hillsides eating grasses and herbs, lending a delicious complexity to the cheeses. The Payoyo factory is based in the village of Villaluenga del Rosario, population 471, and is a centerpiece to the local economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrazalema is a beautiful, rugged, mountainous area in the province of Cádiz.
