" The mayor of Lorca explained that "on this occasion, the Cheese Factory 'El Roano' has been distinguished in the Lyon International Competition of gourmet products with the Gold Medal for its cheese 'El Roano Oro', made with goat's milk, and Silver 2021 for its product 'El Roano Azul', a blue paste goat's milk cheese ".

" "An example of the importance of this contest is that in the previous edition 7,780 samples from 41 different countries were tasted, products such as cheese and dairy products, as well as traditional French invoices such as wine, spirits and craft beer". Francisco Morales has specified that "this year, around 1000 cheese samples from 9 countries have been tasted in the sample, with almost 90 percent of the winners being of French origin.
