It was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend doing this.The family on the farm were very nice. I learnt a lot about cheese-making. They cooked us up a traditional Portuguese meal which was yummy. It was good to see all the farm animals.
Unique experience, sharing knowledge and cultures! This is a great experience to learn more about cheese and how to do it, with a Portuguese touch 🙂
The Cheese experience was wonderful! the farmer were very knowledgeable on the cheese processing methods and received us very warmly. The set-up of the table and the quality of the cheese went beyond my expectations.
