The production of the Mahón cheese dates back to prehistory. This cheese owes its name to the port from which it has been exported since the 13th century. Its Protected Designation of Origin  is a guarantee for the highest quality.

The Minorcan cows graze freely in the small farms whose fields are bordered by mortar-less stone walls, thus shaping the characteristic face of the island. The sun , the Mediterranean breeze  gently blowing the fields and the craftsmanship and the natural manufacturing process make this cheese a unique delicacy in the world.

Some of these farms offer guided tours to get to know the process of cheese making, participate in workshops and tastings of the different varieties. This is a good opportunity to discover the true essence of the Minorcan fields.
