Description
Visit to a sheep farm, passing by our cheese factory and a subsequent wine and food tasting.
Discover the heart of Zamora ‘s cheese and sheep tradition with Quesoturismo.
A guided tour that starts at the sheep farm, one of the many that provide the raw material for our cheeses, where you can learn about the work in the field, the facilities and the care of the animals. Afterwards, we will visit our cheese factory La Antigua, where we will learn about the daily work of elaboration and maturation of our sheep cheeses. After these great experiences we will culminate with a paired tasting of three references of our cheeses.
What will you experience?
- We will start the visit at our factory from where we will move to the sheep farm in the area. There we will get to know the facilities and the sheep from which our treasure, raw sheep’s milk, comes from.
- Afterwards, we will return to our cheese factory and start by visiting the silos, where the sheep’s milk is collected and treated, as well as preserved.
- We continue through our workshop, where you can see the process of curdling, manufacturing, pressing and turning the cheese. The place where the magic begins.
- The time has come to learn about the maturation in the cellars. Here you will be able to see and smell the cheese, from its beginnings, with only a few days of ripening, to our oldest cheeses.
- Finally, after having enjoyed the sense of smell, touch and sight, it is time for taste. We will enjoy a guided tasting of three cheese references accompanied by a local wine.
Beyond a gastronomic experience, it is an invitation to enjoy the tranquility, and the environment conducive to disconnect and immerse yourself in the rural environment.
The duration will be approximately 4 hours.
Live the Quesoturismo experience!
