Casar de Cáceres, October 21, 2023.- The Regulatory Council of the Torta del Casar Protected Designation of Origin has awarded 'El Intermedio' the Torta del Casar award this Friday for the program's contribution to the dissemination of the protected cheese and its activities.
The presenter of the program, José Miguel Monzón, popularly known as 'El Gran Wyoming', the presenter Sandra Sabatés and the collaborator from Cáceres Cristina Gallego attended the event to collect the award.
