About this experience
Enter a world of Mahon-Menorca cheese on a 2,5-hour visit to a typical Farm in the Island. Watch the cheese makers at work as they separate the whey and shape the cheese into wheels. Before you leave, finish with a tasting of cheese paired.
Learn the origins of Mahon cheese on a visit to a cheese factory in the hill of Menorca. Hear how the cheese is still produced following traditional methods.
Watch the cheese makers pull the product from the milk vats, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the process of cooking and separating the whey.
After making the cheese, we do a guided tour of the farm where you can interact with the animals. You help us to feed the cows and give the calves their milk.
You will have the chance to make and personalize your own cheese, the detailed guided tour and a tasting of our products.
Get ready for an amazing experience.
