Description

At the agreed time, we'll meet outside of the Subaida cheese factory, which is 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 the typical tasks are performed. Later, we'll head to the milking room and, hopefully, assist with the extraction process. Then, we'll go through the steps involved in cheese production as well as the maturing process.

Afterwards, we'll visit the milking parlor and witness the milking process. We'll learn all the steps for cheese making and about the ripening process and duration.

We'll then have a tasting of 3 varieties of Mahon cheese, sobrasada, salchichon, and almond sweets, accompanied by bread, wine, and water. Bon appetit!

Finally, we'll end the tour after 1.5 hours of learning about Mahon cheese.
