ICEX/Foods and Wines from Spain in Italy is organizing this year, in cooperation with the National Organization of Cheese Tasters - O.N.A.F., a tasting exclusively for participants from Italian specialized trade and gastronomy. The Master Taster Simonetta Cortella will lead 25 professionals of the sector on a 10 Spanish cheeses journey on Wednesday, October 4th, 2023.

The tremendous variety of Spanish cheeses stems from Spain’s geographical and climatic diversity. They are made from the milk of cows, sheep, and goats, as well as a different blend of these, and in most cases, the milk is obtained from native breeds. Coagulation may be by enzymes, lactic acid or mixed, and cheeses may be round or in log format, of different sizes and with rinds of different colours – often engraved and rubbed with oil or flavoured with spices. Alongside large-scale industrial production, there are lots of small dairies producing artisan cheeses that retain their authentic characteristics and traditional flavours.

Registration of participants is compulsory and will be available from 1 September.

Duration: About 90 minutes for presentation and tasting of the cheeses + questions & answers.
