Menorca Farm and Dairy Guided Tour with Cheese Tasting

Delve into the Menorcan countryside to experience first-hand a traditional farm and cheese dairy dedicated to the artisanal production of Mahón-Menorca cheese. During the tour, you’ll discover what daily life on the farm is like and meet the Friesian cows and native Menorcan sheep whose milk is used to make the cheeses.

The tour continues through the production facilities, where you’ll learn about the production process step by step: from the formation and moulding of the curd to the pressing and salting. An opportunity to understand the work and traditional methods behind one of the most iconic products of Menorcan cuisine.

You’ll then enter the maturing room, where the cheeses rest slowly until they develop their different textures, aromas and intensities. The guide will explain how the maturing time affects the cheese and what characteristics distinguish one cheese from another.

Finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for arrives: a guided tasting of eight varieties of cheese. You’ll be able to compare different stages of maturation and learn to identify their main flavour notes, putting into practice everything you’ve learnt during the tour.
