It was wonderful! Andrea (chef) makes the best tamales I've ever had. She served us coffee and tamales. Then we started to learn about cheese in Spanish. Unfortunately Andrea does not speak a word of English so bring a fully charged phone so u can videotape the class. Andrea also provided a translator who met us at a location and then we had to walk a lot of blocks to get to Andrea's home. I think it would be better to provide people who sign up for class to give the address. It's a short taxi r...read more

Such an amazing experience. We will do it again. We love oaxaca culture.
As a long-time fan of Oaxaca's famous cheese, having the opportunity to make quesillo and queso fresca was exciting enough. But after meeting expert cheesemaker Dona Andrea and learning about her connection to this cheese's origin, we quickly realized just how special this experience was. We were treated to a delicious homemade breakfast before we began the process, and I was surprised how much we learned every step of the way. I can't wait to recommend this experience to others who are visiting...read more



Thank you so much Mark for joining us and living this experience with us. We are happy to knwo that you had a good time with Dona Andrea. Thanks for choosing us.
One of our best experiences in Oaxaca! Our host was amazing and so knowledgeable, and we loved that we got to make the cheese rather than just watching as we have experienced in some other food experiences while traveling. We got a delicious breakfast and learned so much. The space we were in was wonderful and we could have stayed and had a drink all day! Highly recommend to anyone in the area.
Dona Andrea is the best cheese maker in town, her craft taught to her from her mother and grandmother. She is a master and felt very privileged to have learned to make cheese from her. She is sweet and so generous, open to share her history and life story. Now about the cheese, it was by far the best cheese I’ve had in Oaxaca. You will not find her cheese anywhere else, it’s an elaborate process that’s no longer made the traditional way. She makes quesillo, fresh cheese, Philadelphia chees...read more
