This was a fantastic tour, really a great look at a small operation that still takes great pride in their products. Our guide was really informative and we got to see first hand from the beginning to the finished product.

Great experience to learn how one of the best cheeses in the world is made, like fine wines you can taste a young to aged cheeses and appreciate how a young cheese is on your pallet to a robust aged cheese, lived it! I would suggest two types of wine with this tasting though as there was one......
