References to its history are the treaty of Columella that, at the time of Roman domination, informs about the usual procedures for the elaboration and conservation of cheese.

Subsequently, continuous references to this product are detected in the different jurisdictions and municipal ordinances of the Zamora populations, in which rules are not only established on the sale of cheese, but also on its preparation.

[8] The cadastre of the Marqués de la Ensenada (1752), also includes continuous references to the cattle herd and the production of cheese in the different towns of Zamora.

It is also cited in the municipal accounts for festivals and tributes to illustrious people in the cities of Zamora, Benavente and Toro, sometimes with mentions of a cheese in the format of a cupcake.

The quality of the milk obtained from the native sheep breeds and the careful elaboration of the Zamorano cheese, has been the seed of its historical recognition and renown at a national level, being currently one of the most demanded products in the province of Zamora.
