Embark on a flavorful journey into the heart of Sardinian tradition with an exclusive cheese-making experience in Dolianova, just a short drive from Cagliari. This immersive 30-minute workshop invites you to go behind the scenes of a prestigious dairy factory, a leader in the industry for over 60 years, where ancient craftsmanship meets modern innovation.
Your experience begins with a guided tour of the facility. You will witness the fascinating lifecycle of Sardinian pecorino and caprino cheeses, from raw milk testing and recipe formulation to the intricate salting process in brine tanks and the patient aging phase. It is a rare opportunity to see the professional preparation, packaging, and shipping stages of some of the island's most iconic exports.
The highlight of your visit is the hands-on artisanal cheesemaking workshop. Led by expert cheesemakers, you will learn the secrets of coagulation, forming, and salting. You will even get the chance to craft your own cheese—a perfect, delicious souvenir to take home or enjoy on the spot. This educational session is designed to be both fun and informative, making it a fantastic activity for families, couples, and food lovers alike. Children will especially enjoy the hands-on nature of the workshop, and everyone will receive a certificate of participation to commemorate their time as an apprentice cheesemaker.
To conclude your visit, indulge in a curated tasting of three to four of the farm’s most celebrated cheeses. These authentic flavors are expertly paired with a glass of fine local wine from Sardinia’s premier wineries. For younger guests or those preferring non-alcoholic options, refreshing water is available.
