It’s difficult to pick one highlight of the experience - the taste testing was fantastic and I’m gutted that I can’t buy the produce from Germany! A fantastic family owned business, the tour was done with warmth and humour and the cheese was simply outstanding. Well worth the money!”

Both showed us the process of making cheese and we had a hands on experience. It takes about 3 months before the cheese can be enjoyed. We were able to try some that was made presumably by others months ago. Highly recommend. It was always on my bucket list to learn how to make cheese. Now I can cross this one off my list. Go and have fun!”
