Calling all cheese lovers! Come on a guided tour of the Doña Francisca cheese factory, discover the production processes of artisanal cheeses and even try them for yourself!
Cheese Factory Tour & Tasting
We'll meet at 11 am at the main entrance to the Doña Francisca cheese factory, before starting our tour to learn about the production processes. We'll explore the milk rooms, maturation, and shipping areas.
The Doña Francisca factory produces artisanal cheeses such as the renowned Torta del Casa, which has the DOP stamp (Protected Designation of Origin). We will learn about the origins of this delicacy, a symbol of the province of Caceres. The Torta "Virgen del Prado", recently recognized as the third-best cheese in the world, is also made here.
After the tour, we will proceed to the tasting room. Are you ready to taste 10 different kinds of cheese? We will learn to distinguish their unique tastes, aromas, and textures. The cheese tasting will be accompanied by a glass of wine from the region or mineral water, if you prefer.
The activity will conclude at 12:30 pm.
