Explore the Subaida cheese factory in Menorca and learn about Mahon cheese. You'll have the chance to enjoy a tasting.
Description
At the agreed time, we'll meet outside of the Subaida cheese factory, a farm responsible for the production of Mahon cheese.
First, we'll visit the various facilities of the farm, see where the animals are kept, and where typical tasks are performed. Later, we'll head to the milking room and assist with the extraction process. We'll be guided through the steps involved in cheese production and the maturing process.
Next, we'll go to the milking parlor and hopefully witness the milking process. We'll learn all the steps for cheese making and about the ripening process and its duration.
We'll then have a tasting of 3 varieties of Mahon cheese, sobrasada, salchichon, and almond sweets accompanied by bread, wine, and water.
Finally, we'll conclude the tour after 1.5 hours of learning about Mahon cheese.
