Quesería Crestellina Experience (Jan. 19)
Immerse yourself in the life of a shepherd and cheesemaker at Crestellina Farm, offered by a passionate local company dedicated to preserving rural traditions. Here’s what this unique day offers: Learn the authentic family recipe for fresh cheese. By the end of the morning, craft your own cheese—a piece of tradition to take home as a delightful edible memento. While blending ingredients and witnessing the magic, hear captivating stories of the Sierra and Crestellina's rich history spanning nearly 100 years. The highlight of the experience is getting up close with the beloved Payoya goats. For the adventurous, try your hand at traditional milking before the goats roam freely. Afterwards unleash your creativity as you craft your own cheese, adding a personal touch that will make you feel like a genuine cheese artisan. While your cheese sets, enjoy a short video revealing the secrets of the dairy. To culminate this memorable day, savour a sensory cheese tasting paired with fine local wines that enhance the flavours of the cheese. For those eager to bring a piece of Crestellina home, explore the shop offering a curated selection of locally sourced products.
