Menorca cheeses: an essential delight

What to see in Menorca

Visiting Menorca and not enjoying its cheeses should be forbidden. They are the true treasure of Balearic gastronomy. The island has a long cheese-making tradition dating back to the 14th century.

There are 3 types of Menorca cheeses: Mahón-Menorca cheese, Alaior cheese, and Menorca DOP cheese. Mahón-Menorca cheese is the most well-known and is made with raw cow’s milk. On the other hand, Alaior cheese is made with sheep’s milk and has a softer, creamier texture. Finally, Menorca DOP cheese is made with a mixture of cow and sheep milk, and has a mild and delicate flavor.

The cheese-making process in Menorca is a true work of art. It takes place in small family-owned dairies (called «llocs») that have passed on this craft from generation to generation. In these «llocs», you can buy cheeses and other handmade products, and some allow visitors to tour the facilities. In fact, there is a Cheese Route specifically dedicated to Menorcan cheeses.

The milk is coagulated with rennet and cut into small cubes. Then it is placed in molds and pressed to give it shape. Next, it is salted and left to mature for several months under controlled conditions. Mahón-Menorca cheese can be found in different degrees of maturity. Young cheeses have a milder flavor and can be used for salads and sandwiches. Mature cheeses have a stronger flavor and are ideal for tasting alone or with a glass of wine.

Menorcan cheese is a highly valued product all over the world and has won many international awards. The most current and innovative gastronomy already integrates it into all kinds of preparations, such as sauces and desserts.

In conclusion, Menorcan cheeses are a delight for the palate and a showcase of the island’s rich cheese-making tradition. Do you already know where you will stay for your next Menorcan cheese route? Choose wisely, choose Anirà bé hotels.
