Celebrate the Pesquera Cheese Fair: Taste the best of Cantabria

An essential event for artisanal cheese lovers

The XXX edition of the Pesquera International Artisanal Cheese Fair will be held on August 14 and 15, becoming one of the most anticipated gastronomic events on the regional calendar. During these two days, the Cantabrian town of Pesquera will open its doors to 35 producers and 27 cheese dairies, 11 of them from Cantabria, so that visitors can enjoy a wide variety of excellent quality artisanal cheeses.

Discover the secrets of artisanal cheese

The fair offers a comprehensive program of activities that will allow attendees to learn in depth about the cheese-making process. Children's and adult workshops, tastings, and guided tastings will reveal the ins and outs of this product so typical of the region. In addition, there will be an environmental workshop in collaboration with the Cantabrian Network for Rural Development, and the awareness campaign 'Give a second life to packaging' on recycling will be developed.

Enjoy a festive and traditional atmosphere

Beyond the gastronomic offer, the Pesquera Cheese Fair is a celebration of local tradition and culture. The residents of the municipality are fully involved in the organization of this event, which has the support of the Ministry of Rural Development, Livestock, Fisheries and Food of the Government of Cantabria. In addition to the cheeses, other regional, national and international agri-food products such as preserves, breads, pâtés and beers will be available for tasting.

Connect with sustainability

To promote sustainable transportation, people who travel by train, bus, on foot or by bicycle will be entered into a raffle for fair products. Thus, the organization seeks to reduce the use of private vehicles and polluting emissions.
