We are more and more immersed and aware of the importance of taking care of our diet, with products of natural origin that provide our body with multiple benefits.
In Quesería La Antigua we are also part of this culture that has more and more followers and we have joined it in the best way we know how, with cheese.
Therefore, within our latest novelties, presented at Alimentaria 2018, we wanted to include elements that would provide that extra natural touch, and that would endow our cheeses with that which we like so much: Quality and Difference. These cheeses are the ones that since April make up our Natural Line:
- La Antigua Candidum Cheese
- La Antigua Cheese with Organic Quinoa
- La Antigua Cheese with Aniseed and Organic Chia.
The union of the benefits of a totally artisanal cheese together with the properties of these seeds, make a team that is hard to beat. But, do you know all that Chia and Quinoa bring you?
Chia is a plant that comes from Central America and the seeds, those we eat, are rich in carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. But above all, they are an important source of Omega 3, and in order to take advantage of 100% of the fatty acid, the seed must be ground or chewed.
Due to its diverse nutrients, chia provides hydration to the body, are a great source of energy, help to gain muscle mass and are depurative.
Quinoa, on the other hand, is considered a pseudo-cereal since it can be consumed as such. It has Andean origin and is mainly known for being an excellent vegetable protein. It is also an excellent source of carbohydrates, very high in protein.
This seed provides almost 100% of our body’s iron needs, improves energy metabolism due to its high content of B vitamins, and protects the heart by helping to improve cholesterol.
Chia and Quinoa are in more and more homes and, why not in our cheeses? And what is more important, also Lactose Free!
