Enjoy a gourmet experience right in front of Las Canteras Beach: a guided tasting pairing 10 artisan cheeses with wines from Gran Canaria. We start with a friendly introduction to the craft of cheesemaking: types of milk (cow, sheep and goat), rennets, fermentations and ageing. You will discover how each decision the cheesemaker makes transforms the texture, aroma and character of every cheese. You will travel through the flavours of all the islands: Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, El Hierro and La Palma, with several raw-milk, small-batch cheeses, plus an international selection that broadens the sensory map. We will talk about terroir, pastures and climate to understand why Canary Island cheeses are so authentic and distinctive. To top it all off, we will explore simple and tasty pairings with local wines and sparkling wines; the experience includes half a bottle of wine or cava per person. You will leave with a trained palate, pairings ready to recreate at home, and the feeling of having taken a sensory journey through the gastronomy of the Canary Islands.
