CHEESOTOURISM

Cheese tourism is born in La Antigua as an authentic experience. You will be able to immerse yourself in the manufacturing process of the authentic cheese from Zamora. From the raw sheep’s milk to the rennet cut, the brine and the maturation chambers, everything is carried out with the highest safety measures.

In addition, visitors, whether they are couples, families or small groups, have the opportunity to get close to the animals.

To enjoy your visit to Quesería La Antigua, we recommend you bring the following:

1. Warm clothing: Some areas of the cheese plant, such as the ripening chambers, may be cool. A light coat or jacket will be useful to keep you comfortable.
2. Comfortable Shoes: Opt for comfortable closed-toe shoes, as you will be walking through different rooms during the visit.
3. Gown, hat and booties: Upon arrival, you will be provided with a gown, hat and booties to maintain hygiene and safety. Don’t worry about staining your clothes!
4. Curiosity and Appetite: It is not physical clothing, but having an open mind and a willingness to learn about the cheese making process is also important.

All of our experiences begin at the Quesería La Antigua factory in Fuentesaúco, on the Ctra. Salamanca, 32. Here, participants will be immersed in the cheese-making process, from milk collection in the silos to maturing in the cellars. The visit includes the workshop, where the curdling, manufacture, pressing and turning of the cheese takes place. The experience culminates with a guided cheese tasting paired with local wines, offering a complete immersion in the cheese-making tradition and flavors of the region. The factory thus becomes the epicenter of a unique day of cheese tourism.
