About Us
What we do
La Huerta
Tambo is a family business that decided in 2016 to intensify and
professionalize its goat milk production and the
manufacturing system for cheese and other milk derivates to take a leading role
in the national market and achieve an outstanding international market
positioning.
The company is formed with national capitals committed to the social and economic development of our province, Jujuy.
Our history and our future
Our name LA
HUERTA TAMBO is a Brand name formed by two words: one represents the region
where our premises are located, and the other one (tambo = milking yard)
describes the primary activity that identifies us.
La Huerta
is the name of the river that flows from the east and meets the Grande river,
which formed the ravine Quebrada de Humahuaca. The milking yard itself
is located where both rivers meet, where the old cheese factory was located
before.
La Huerta
is part of the Huacalera area, in the Tilcara department, Province of Jujuy.
The monument dedicated to the Capricorn Tropic, built in the Huacalera town
latitude, with a sun clock marking the line of the Tropic through the Jujuy
territory in the Southern Hemisphere, adds to its rich archeological history
(Pucará de Huacalera) (Pucara=fortified town).
The La
Huerta area is of natural exceptional beauty, a characteristic that is repeated
in all the Quebrada de Humahuaca. As everybody knows, the Ravine was declared
Cultural and Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.
This unique
combination of multi-coloured hills, crystal clear mountain waters and green
valleys, offer a unique geographical context that turns into a wonderful
landscape. All this is associated to the cultural characteristics, as it was
declared cultural heritage site due to the preservation of the millenary
Omaguaca and Inca cultures, whose inhabitants were native from this region.
This
cultural legacy is kept alive among the present inhabitants through their
religious beliefs, rituals, festivals, art, music, agricultural techniques and
food customs.
These
peoples received from the Spaniards the goat breeding custom, which became an
important part of their subsistence. This in time derived into the ancestral
traditional technique of manufacturing goat cheese, also known as farm cheese
or criollo (peasant) cheese.
Our Project
tries to add to this cultural legacy new knowledge and state of the art
technology, to give goat dairy products the necessary dimension to be
attractive and accessible to the public.
We are aware that this vision of the future of the area - necessary to accomplish the challenge of
offering all consumers the new food tendencies - implies a deep change in dairy
products, both in production and commercialization.
