Canarian cheese tasting

About this tour

Spend 80 minutes with Canarian cheese experts who'll walk you through the craft of island cheesemaking. You'll taste a curated selection from across the archipelago, sipping wine alongside, while learning about milk types, rennet use, ageing techniques and how flavour develops. This is a conversation, not a lecture—ask questions, share thoughts, understand why cheese runs deep in Canarian culture.

Highlights

• Taste cheeses from all seven Canary Islands on one plate
• Learn milk selection, rennet work, and maturation secrets
• Half a bottle of wine included per person
• Chat directly with experienced cheese ripeners
• Understand Canarian cheese heritage from farmers themselves

What to expect

You'll sit with a cheese expert in a relaxed setting. They'll introduce each cheese individually—where it comes from, how it was made, what to look for in flavour and texture. You'll taste alongside, sipping wine between samples. The expert encourages questions; this isn't a one-way talk but a back-and-forth about what you're tasting, how different milks affect flavour, why ageing matters. Expect to leave with real knowledge of Canarian cheesemaking traditions.
