NUESTRO DÍA A DÍA

Once again, Menorca has dressed up to host our highly anticipated 25th Annual Mahón-Menorca Cheese Contest (PDO), an event where tradition, flavor, and passion for our land become the true stars.

We want to dedicate this post to saying thank you. First and foremost: thank you to the 39 participating cheese factories for presenting 72 pieces of exceptional quality. You made the jury’s decision very difficult! Thank you to all the dairy farmers, cheesemakers, and maturers for your tireless effort, which keeps the essence of our Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) alive.
