It takes some time navigating small country roads but the farm is the real deal, a family venture has for generations produced wonderful cheeses. Very friendly and informative.
Thank you! We're so glad you discovered our Menorca cheesemaking experience! Finding a generations-old family farm producing authentic Mahón cheese off the beaten path is exactly the hidden gem we love to share. Worth every twist of those country roads!
The place is very remote. Difficult to find. However, The staff (Mary and family) are wonderful. She goes out of her way to explain the farm and answer every question. The tour is not that long because its a small farm. However, the cheee is exquisite!! I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to others.
So glad you enjoyed our artisan cheese tasting! Being a small, authentic family farm, we are indeed a 'hidden gem' off the beaten path, offering a peaceful escape from the tourist crowds. Mary and the family love sharing our passion for local farming. We’re thrilled the quality of our cheese made the journey worth it! Best,
If you think you have already experienced everything - this experience should not be missing in Menorca! Professional, hospitable, multimodal (with all senses) activity that exceeded my expectations: interesting detailed tour (also historical parts) and explanation on cheese making (option to create your own creative personalized cheese collage & send home); cooperation absolutely welcome- guided tour of the production chain (e.g. feeding - the cows & calves); up to tasting the cheese & other specialties of the island on the beautifully situated courtyard terrace ☀️ We will be happy to visit the farm shop again in the future ...
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The guide was extremely thoughtful and informative. And the cheese is delicious!
Excellent, whole experience was very enjoyable. The guide (sorry I've forgotten your name!) was brilliant, great at communicating with us English-speakers as well as the catalan in the group. Terrific, would recommend to anyone.
It is 1 fairly quiet island with beautiful scenery the north is more lively than the south. Beautiful beaches .and cities like Majo. Capital and Cuitatella which are.t to visit
This cheese making / farm tour was an amazing, authentic experience. Evan was our tour guide and he was exceptional at leading us through the hands-on cheese making process and explaining how the farm operates. We also loved petting the cows, giving the baby cows their milk out of a bottle, watching Evan feed the pigs, and sampling cheese and meats at the end! This is a must if you are visiting Menorca!
It was a great combination of hands-on experience actually making a block of cheese, seeing the farm, and learning about the history and culture of the farm and the island! Ivan, our guide, was exceptional!!
Wonderful! Great insight into the process and local rural life, stunning views, delicious cheese, fun and informative for kids and adults. Highly recommended!
We would thoroughly recommend this activity , this is clearly a farming family who are immensely proud of their heritage and traditional product and so they should be.It was a great balance of farming facts , animal interaction and practical cheese making activity - with the option to buy your own produced artisan cheese ( once cured) shipped out .finished off with a lovely homemade lunch . Tourism needs to keep supporting small businesss like this. 10/10
