A very nice activity to see the entire process of how Cabrales cheese is made. In our case, Dorita explained everything to us very well, she made us feel all the passion and love that she puts into her work. A highly recommended visit.

We visited this cheese factory in Cabrales, Asturias, Dorita, its owner, explained everything to us from the dairy to her own life story. Incredible story, we stayed talking with her for more than two hours, what a warm person, we felt like we knew each other a life.
We tried their exquisite Cabrales cheeses. He showed us the entire production, from the dairy, manufacturing process and packaging.
I recommend taking a look, it's worth it. Their cheese is delicious, very creamy.
Ideal to go with children, they make them participate in the visit.

We booked a guided tour for 2 adults at this cheese factory. Our guide was Jorge who explained the entire process to us. We saw the livestock they have: the cows and some calves. We saw how they are fed and how they are cleaned automatically, we also saw how a huge machine, completely computerized, milks a cow that comes alone when it notices its udders are full enough, the process being totally hygienic and safe for the cows, it is Do it 3 or 4 times a day. Then we begin the visit to the rooms where the cheese making process takes place. It is a hallway with many information panels. To finish, a tasting of the 3 types of cheese you make, all of them matured in caves. Highly recommended.

To make your visit to Picos de Europa perfect you have to go to this Cheese Factory. You will see how Cabrales cheese is made, with a guided tour, clear and fun even for children. Once you try the cheese you will take it with you for all your friends and family. Great!!!

Wonderful want, in an exceptional location. Just get there....it's an amazing experience!
The surroundings are dreamy.
Carmen, has been a spectacular host, teaching us the whole process in making an exquisite cheese. And, not only that, he has advised us on visits to the area and surrounding areas.
The tasting has been wonderful.
A unique goats flavor!
Mandatory stop in Asturias.
Good cheese, good company, what else do we want?

Congratulations to Dorita for having such a well-kept livestock farm and for the enormous quality of her cheeses. And thank you for continuing that tradition so we can enjoy it. Jorge the guide is very nice, he makes the visit super enjoyable. 100% recommended, especially if you go with children.

My stepfather and I signed up for a 12 noon tour. We arrived a bit early from Bilbao, which took 2 hours driving (we had a driver), so we chatted with Don Fermin, the spouse of the spitfire who lead us on the tour, his wife Dorita. Oh, my! She gave us such an explanation of the family history, how she was born into this way of life and how her grandmother was a master cheesemaker who had met royalty and heads of states through her cheeses. These are strong women, the present one very much included, who has made sure to pass down the traditions to their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. At the same time, the "granja" or farm, is very much mechanized, with a robotic milking machine and so much more-which we saw in action. The cows are treated better than 80 percent of humanity and they live in great comfort. They choose when they need to be milked. The cheeses are all worked by hand and taken up into the caves in the nearby mountains, part of the Picos de Europa, which are stunning. There is so much to tell, and Dorita conveys it with passion and positivity. Plus, you get to taste the different levels of Cabrales certified blue cheese, from the youngest (aged 1-2 months) to the reserve (5-6 months, depending on conditions). The tour only costs 7 euros per person and a large chunk of the most expensive cheese, the reserve, only was $19 Euros. It will be something to share and savor with friends. The tour itself is something that we will remember for a long, long time. Thank you for a wonderful visit and sharing your lives with us.

We visited here on our first day in the area of Arenas de Cabrales and really enjoyed the tour. We arrived at 11am and the guide let us know that she was waiting till 1110am to start so we could have a look around the animals including the calves while we waited. The whole production of the cheese is really interesting as this ‘factory’ is so automated. The tour guide Andrea spoke excellent English and coped really well with the questions both in Spanish and English so we really felt like we did not miss out - I suspect it made her have to rush a little but she managed it beautifully. The tasting was interesting and set us up to try things in restaurants in the area.

Dorita, the owner is one of the attractions.
Adorable and talkative, she brings up passion to the tour. The facilities are brand new and clean.
The cheese is absolutely delicious. Buy it!
The tour is very interesting and informative. It takes around 40min and it costs just 4€.
The only negative point are the free samples given away. The tasting experience is a little bit poor. Too short and with small variety.
Dorita, a dona do negócio é uma atração a parte. Adorável e faladora, ela traz paixão para o tour. As instalações são novas e limpas.
O queijo é absolutamente delicioso. Não deixe de comprá-lo.
O tour é bem Interessante e informativo. Demora uns 40min e custa só 4€.
O único ponto negativo é a degustação: um pouco fraca, muito curta e com pouca variedade.

We stopped by about 17.00hrs after a days hiking in the area. The tour started at 17.15hrs.
There were 8 in our group. The other 6 spoke Spanish but the guide did the tour in a mix of English and Spanish for our benefit. She was excellent and provided really good information and allowed us time to ask questions.
The tour involved seeing the cows, watching the automated milking process and then seeing the cheese making process.
Finishing in the cheese tasting obviously! This is the famous cheese that matures in caves for a minimum of 2 months to get the mould growing in it. The cheese is strong and not to everyone’s taste but despite that it’s super interesting just to understand how it’s made.
The tour lasts about an hour and costs €4 each.
If you’re in the area it’s worth dropping in.
