Family cheese dairy in Tiscamanita, in the municipality of Tuineje, with more than thirty years behind it making Majorero goat cheese under its protected designation of origin.

Quesería Julián Díaz is a family business in Tiscamanita, in the municipality of Tuineje, that has been making goat cheese for more than thirty years. It works with milk from Majorera goats and under the protected designation of origin Queso Majorero, which covers the traditional cheese of Fuerteventura. Production spans the three usual curing stages: tierno, semicurado and curado. The work has collected several awards, and for a designated cheese those are decided in blind tasting.
A visit can be requested and part of the making watched, arranged in advance, because the dairy follows the rhythm of milking rather than that of a museum. Tiscamanita sits in the middle of the island, on the road that crosses Fuerteventura from north to south, so it fits naturally into an inland route. The stop makes most sense for anyone wanting to understand the difference between the curing stages by tasting them one after another. This is a working dairy, not a facility built for large groups.
