Meloussa Cheese: A Prized Jewel of Menorcan Tradition
Meloussa artisan cheeses are made on Menorcan farms from raw cow's milk, including from the endangered red Menorquina breed. Their DOP Mahón-Menorca cheeses, matured for up to 10 months, are known for their authentic flavour and texture that capture centuries of traditional Menorcan cheesemaking.
Meloussa truly honours the tradition and authentic flavours of Menorca. With DOP Mahón-Menorca cheeses made using raw milk from cows reared on local farms, its products fuse age-old techniques with a deep respect for the environment and biodiversity.
One of their most popular cheeses is the red Menorquina cow cheese, handmade from the milk of this endangered native breed. Their semicurado and curado cheeses rest in cheese caves for 6 to 10 months, where they acquire unique nuances of cultured butter, olives and a texture that the most demanding palates are sure to love.
Meloussa offers experiences where you can learn about the production process and life in the Menorcan countryside, inviting you to discover the true essence of the island. Every bite of Meloussa takes you to the heart of the Mediterranean.
