Sheep Farm Visit

Sheep and goat rearing has a strong historical and cultural significance in Malta: evidence of this is shown in carvings from the Neolithic period, found in the Megalithic Temples scattered throughout the Islands, amongst other historical remains. 

 

During this experience, which takes place on a family-run sheep farm, you’ll have the opportunity to discover the traditional roots of Maltese dairy production, while discussing the current market-driven trends and challenges. Most local breeders have invested heavily in modern equipment to meet today’s safety standards, while making sure not to switch to industrial production in order to keep the highest quality for their ġbejniet - the traditional Maltese cheese produced from raw sheep milk. 

 

Obviously, you’re going to taste different typologies of this, with tastes ranging from rich and flavorful to light and delicate!
