Cheese Factory Tour & Tasting

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 setting off on 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 Torta del Casa, which has the DOP stamp (Protected Designation of Origin). We'll learn about the origin of this delicacy, a symbol of the province of Caceres, and the Torta "Virgen del Prado", named the third-best cheese in the world, made here as well.

After the tour, we'll proceed to the tasting room. Participants will taste 10 different kinds of cheese and learn to distinguish their tastes, aromas, and textures. The tasting will include a glass of wine from the region or mineral water if preferred.

The activity will end at 12:30 pm.
