Majorero cheese
The production of Majorero cheese is linked to the history of the island and of its inhabitants. That is why you cannot really learn about the cheese without getting to know the island, or enjoy the island without, first, enjoying its cheese. This internationally acclaimed cheese has received prizes worldwide, the last one was awarded to the Maxorata brand at the World Championship Cheese Contest this year.
