Maín Cheese Factory

An experience that allows visitors to learn about the artisan process of making Cabrales cheese.

The visit begins with a guided tour of the cheese factory, where the different stages of production, drying and labelling of the cheese are shown. This is followed by a walk through the village to a natural cave where the cheeses are matured, with explanations about traditional techniques and the history of Cabrales cheese.

The activity ends with an individual tasting of cheeses of different maturities, accompanied by tomato jam, apple jam, water and cider. We recommend the use of closed and appropriate footwear.

The activity is not recommended for children under 6 years of age due to the conditions of the route and the cave. Visits are in Spanish, with the option of English on specific days. The group has a maximum of 20 people and a minimum of 2.
