Chillón Cheese Museum

A walk through the history of cheese
“Live the cheese culture. Discover the Chillón universe.” Chillón Family since 1890.

Family, flavor and tradition

The museum discourse consists of two deeply linked aspects. For this reason, on the itinerary, the visitor will be able to learn about the cheese-making processes, originally focused on the three main stages of the product: since it “is” milk, passing through the subsequent transformation into curd and the natural cheese-making.

And also, at different points in the show, you can learn about the Chillón family history from their origins as cheesemakers at the end of the 19th century to the present day.

A chronological walk through the intimacy of this family of entrepreneurs and their star product, cheese.

Groups of more than 10 people will be able to enjoy a guided tour of the museum’s facilities, contemplate a recreation of a day of bygone times in images and end with a tasting of all our cheeses.

And if you are not going in a group, enjoy with your family, friends or partner an intimate gastronomic-cultural experience. Free visit to the museum, video of a working day from the last century and tasting of different varieties of cheese.
