There is so much to see and savour at s’Hort Sant Patrici that it’s hard to know where to start. The Cheese Museum is as good a place as any and here you can see original engravings and old tools and utensils that master craftsmen used for decades.
The farm produces two protected designation of origin cheeses: Mahón-Menorca Hort Sant Patrici, which is made from cow’s milk with a buttery texture and hazelnut flavour, and comes in three levels of maturity; and the Artesan, which is made from raw cow’s milk and moulded in cotton bag. This cheese is known for its intense aroma and taste. You can see cheese being made most days between 9am and 11am.
