Description

Explore the Subaida cheese factory in Menorca and learn about one of the most popular products of this region: Mahon cheese! What's more, you'll also have the chance to enjoy a tasting.

Description

At the agreed time, we'll meet outside of the Subaida cheese factory, a farm that 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 generally performed. Later, we'll head to the milking room and, hopefully, assist with the extraction process! Then, we'll be brought through the steps involved in cheese production as well as the maturing process.

Later, we'll go to the milking parlor and, hopefully, witness the milking process. Then, we'll learn all the steps for cheese making and about the ripening process and how long it takes.

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.

La experiencia a sido de 10 la chica que nos ha enseñando toda la vaqueria, todo el proceso de fabricación, es una excelente guía, muy simpática y además sabe muy bien de lo que habla. Al final te preparan una degustacion que nos sorprendió mucho porque teníamos reservado cada persona su bandeja de quesos, Embutido, vino y agua con su nombre. Las vacas las tienen cuidadas con todas las comodidades,, una pasada. Muy recomendable la visita. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was a 10/10. The girl who showed us the whole dairy, the whole manufacturing process, is an excellent guide, very friendly and also knows very well what she is talking about. At the end they prepare a tasting that surprised us a lot because each person had reserved their own tray of cheeses, sausages, wine and water with their name. The cows are looked after with all the comforts, amazing. The visit is highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

A highly recommended activity to go to when you are on the island. Alexandra explained everything very well, a very friendly and charming girl. She explained to us how the cheese factory and the animals work. We were able to bottle-feed a calf and feed the goats. And to top it off, the final surprise was the tasting of all the typical local products and everything was delicious. Super fun, a must-see in Menorca, we will return 100%. Opinion translated.

La guía muy maja, los quesos riquísimos pero nos faltó un poco poder ver el proceso de fabricación del queso, la explicación un poco breve. La finca y el entorno chulisimo Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very nice, the cheeses were delicious, but we missed seeing the cheese making process, the explanation was a bit brief. The farm and the surroundings are really cool. Opinion translated. Show original.
