Masía els Masets, cheese and much, much more

Masia els Masets is based in La Torre d’En Besora, in L’Alt Maestrat county in the province of Castellón. The company produces cheeses and other dairy products, which you can discover in the shop or on a guided tour of the premises. How do you fancy coming to sample its delicious products? 

Masia els Masets specialises in rearing sheep, specifically the Lacaune breed whose milk is perfect for making dairy products full of flavour and nutrients. A visit to the cheese producer is the perfect complement to a day spent hiking or hunting for black truffle, when in season. 

For its promoters, Masia els Masets is an additional point of interest in an area with great rural and nature tourism potential. Discovering how the cheeses are made is a great day out for all the family.

You will have the opportunity to taste all sorts of delicious dairy products: yoghurt made from both sheep and cows milk; cuajadas (milk curd) flavoured with nougat, coffee or chocolate; fresh and mature cheese with a hint of rosemary or in the traditional “servilleta” variety; and the milk itself. And then there are the desserts: cheese cakes, flan de huevo (crème caramel) and flan de requesón (similar to crème caramel only made with a soft cheese). You’re sure to be delighted by everything on offer at Masia els Masets.

While you’re here, we’d recommend taking the time to explore La Torre d’En Besora, checking out the church, the ruins of the castle and its walls, the old watchtowers and the chapel, and complete your day in this part of inland province of Castellón with a guided tour of Masia els Masets farm and factory. Make sure you take the time to look around the wonderful shop. Discover the delicious products made in the Region of Valencia on getaways that will take you to their places of origin.
