Regional cheese and cream stores Ferreries

Here you will find the wines and cheeses of the small hotel-agriturismo (8 rooms) and the restaurant Hort Sant Patrici, the result of an artisanal production and in small quantities. An interesting visit during which you will discover the secrets of cheese and wine production, with a tasting of traditional island products at the end of the tour. We recommend that you take home the house merlot, excellent! Self-guided or guided tours of the cheese factory and the wine cellar are available on request.

Son Mercer de Baix is a well-known Ferreries cheese manufacturer whose white-walled finca (traditional Menorcan rural dwelling dedicated to farming) overlooks 125 ha of pasture where dairy cows graze peacefully. Popular products include the famous D.O.P. Maó-Minorca cheese, as well as more personal but no less delicious creations such as "Coeur de Mua". Son Mercer de Baix's products can be found in a number of prestigious boutiques on the island, as well as on the peninsula.

Founded in 1990, Sa Canova, a manufacturer of top-quality Minorcan cheese, has become a benchmark in the island's gastronomic landscape. While the story began with the traditional production of the famous Mahón-Minorca cheese, Sa Canova went on to produce other cheeses with different flavors and textures, as well as a range of quality dairy products. Various farms on the island provide Sa Canova with excellent milk in large quantities. The Ferreries store is sure to please!

Soraya Bosch and her family passionately run this cheese factory/grocery store, which is highly recommended for the quality local products on offer (spices, oils, jams, honey, cookies, embroidered fabrics), as well as for the incredible cheese and wine tasting sessions on offer! It's also possible to combine the tasting with a guided tour of the stables and production facilities, but that's not all: at Sa Roqueta, you can also take part in cheese-making workshops! A great address.

Committed to sustainable agriculture and self-sufficiency for the three years it has been in existence, this small structure, owned by a Frenchman but managed by a Menorcan - the friendly and knowledgeable Tònia Ramon - produces an excellent ecological cheese! Unfortunately, the cheese dairy has no fixed point of sale in Ferreries. However, their products can be found in all the best delicatessens on the island, as well as on the stalls of the main artisan markets and gastronomic events.
