Description

At the agreed time, we'll meet outside the Subaida cheese factory, responsible for the production of Mahon cheese.

First, we'll visit the various facilities of the farm, see where the animals are kept, and observe typical tasks. Later, we'll head to the milking room and hopefully assist with the extraction process. We will then go through the steps involved in cheese production as well as the maturing process.

Next, we'll visit the milking parlor and hopefully witness the milking process. We will learn all the steps for cheese making and about the ripening process, including 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!
