Burgos: Sardinian Pecorino Cheese Workshop

The tour begins with a welcome from the hosts, who will take you on an illustrative walk around the farm. You will meet and learn about many animal species besides the Sardinian sheep: llamas, alpacas, peacocks and many varieties of birds from all over the world. The second stop is the cheese factory attached to the farm, where the magic happens: the transformation of milk into cheese. This is where the heart of the experience takes place: the workshop for making Sardinian pecorino. After an introductory briefing on the techniques used, the shepherd will give a demonstration of the essential steps in this practice. Each participant will be able to actively participate, discovering and learning the differences between fresh and mature cheese. During the workshop, it is in fact possible to taste the cheese, a rare opportunity to enjoy the genuineness of a freshly made product. At the end of the experience, you will be welcomed into the farm building where a selection of genuine local products, based on seasonal availability, accompanied by water and wine, will be offered for tasting.
