Gamonéu cheese, one of the gastronomic jewels of the Principality of Asturias as you have never seen it before. We propose a unique experience, a visit to an Asturian cheese factory to learn about the whole process of making this iconic Asturian cheese from the hand of our producers, experienced cheesemakers, who make this handmade cheese one of the most coveted gastronomic treasures in the world. We are waiting for you in Benia de Onis! The visit consists of three parts. The first one takes place in our cheese factory, where we make Gamonéu cheese daily. In the second part we will go into a hut, an exact replica of those used by shepherds in the sheepfolds of the Picos de Europa. Finally, a tasting of our products.
