In the House of Cheese we try to let you know the importance of the Majorera Goat has for Fuerteventura and its people. How is it possible that such a special animal has been able to overcome all the possible adversities with respect to the desert climate of our island, passing feeding difficulties in the history of the years, and not being able to sustain our ancestors majoreros, with their milk or meat, but has been and is able to provide us with a milk of such high quality, which has made Fuerteventura goat cheeses in the best in the world.
From milking the famous Majorera goats — considered the best in the world for desert climates — to shaping and vacuum-packing your own cheese, this hands-on workshop lets you live the island’s most iconic tradition. On arrival, enjoy a welcome coffee while your host introduces the experience and the farm. You’ll then learn professional manual and machine milking techniques before moving on to the most exciting part: creating your own fresh cheese, step by step, just like a local cheesemaker. Midway through the activity, take a break with a delicious authentic Fuerteventura breakfast. Relax in the garden patio and enjoy a fresh cheese sandwich, a cheese board with Canarian mojos and homemade jams, plus your choice of drink — coffee, tea, local Tenerife wine, beer, soft drinks or water. Once your cheese has rested in the press, return to the production room to vacuum-pack and label your creation, taking home a unique, edible souvenir of your experience.
