With the arrival of the second week of June, many people start planning their summer holidays. It’s a perfect time to disconnect, get to know new places and, of course, enjoy the local gastronomy. The co-owner of Llet Crua, Xevi Miró, invites us to discover the cheese diversity of some European countries this summer. This is a unique opportunity to explore new cultures and especially to taste a wide variety of artisanal cheeses.

He advises cheese lovers to explore the different options available, as there are cheese shops in many parts of the territory. In addition, it also offers practical advice for those wishing to visit these cheese factories, such as checking if they allow tours and if they have a tasting area.
