English guided tour

IMPORTANT: This tour is done in English.

Come and discover the magic of Mahón-Menorca cheese on our family guided tour of Subaida, ideal for children and curious adults.
A fantastic tour around the different facilities of our cheese factory, in a relaxed, entertaining and educational atmosphere, to discover the whole process of making the best artisan cheese in Menorca. 

By way of introduction, we will give you a short introduction in order to provide you with the most important information about the farm and then we will go to our cheese factory, where we will explain the entire production process while our master cheesemakers give you a demonstration (guided tours are the only way to see a demonstration in person). 

We will also meet our protagonists: the cows, which you can find both in the dairy and in the fields, as they are free to graze whenever they wish. Next to the cowshed is the milking parlour, which takes place twice a day: at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., which means that only during the afternoon visit is it possible to witness the milking, although the mornings, this year, also have some surprises in store.

But it's not all about listening, it's time to bottle-feed one of the calves and meet the rest of the animals that make up the Subaida farm, especially the baby goats, which we will feed inside their enclosure. From there we will go up to the threshing floor, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of our facilities and the surrounding nature, we will tell you a bit of history about the farm and the Montañés family and we will go down to our small maturing/demonstration room, to see how the cheeses are treated from the cheese factory until they are ready for consumption. 

And as the walk will have whetted our appetite, it is time to taste our products. The tasting on a tray will be served in the adjoining cellar, which has been specially prepared with tables, but due to space problems, it will be done standing up.
