Son Mercer de Baix: Reinventing Traditional Cheesemaking
At Son Mercer de Baix farm, near Ferreries, DOP Mahón-Menorca cheese and new creations are made using artisan methods that go back generations. Among open fields and dry-stone walls, its products are the soul of Menorca.
Son Mercer de Baix, with 125 hectares of pastures and cropland, is an iconic Menorcan farm where tradition meets innovation to create cheese of extraordinary quality. With raw milk from free-range cows, they produce DOP Mahón-Menorca cheese in the varieties semicurado (medium mature), curado (mature) and reserva especial selección (special reserve selection). These pieces are appreciated for their intense flavour and meticulous artisan production, which includes traditional methods such as the use of the fogasser moulding cloth.
Beyond the classic Mahón-Menorca cheese, Son Mercer de Baix has created unique specialities such as its MUA cheeses, with flavours including chamomile and rosemary, and an olive oil cheese that captures Mediterranean tradition. Each product is an artisanal work of art designed to amaze and delight cheese lovers.
The estate also opens its doors to the public for tours with or without a guide, offering the chance to learn about the winemaking process and enjoy beautiful scenery in Menorca’s countryside. The experience is complete with tastings, inviting you to discover the nuances of different cheeses paired with fresh fruit, dried fruit and aromatic white wines.
Son Mercer de Baix not only makes cheese; it transforms milk from its cows into a journey for the senses, connecting those who taste it with the essence of Menorca. Visit this farm to delve into the tradition, innovation and flavour of a unique island.
