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.
Me and my family visited the cheese making experience in the late autumn to learn more about the local tradition of cheese production as well as to get our hands on experience making some cheeses. The whole experience was run by Cristina and she walked us through the process as well as the history of the establishment. After making some cheeses, we were introduced to the matured versions of them to taste. Pairings were very local, seasonal and absolutely delicious. Shout out to the pumpkin jam which was served with the soft spread and walnuts. After this, we were treated to the three course dinner which was also sourced locally and tasted delicious! This was very pleasant and relaxing experience.
Our Producer
Inserted in the demarcated area of Serra da Estrela cheese production, our farm produces curried sheep cheese, cottage cheese, goat cheese, and mix cheese.
For the process of the cheese, our farmers use a cynara cardunculus plant, commonly known as cardo — a natural cocktail of the traditional recipe of Serra da Estrela cheese.
The coagulant of plant origin results from the mixture of ground plant and sea salt. Being raw milk, it contains the microorganisms that are necessary for the fermentation of the cheese.
