Answer 1

To make cheese? Really? OK

The most famous cheeses in Spain are:

The "Manchego" cheese. The name means that comes from a region named La Mancha (Castilla-La Mancha it's the actual name).

The "Burgos" cheese. Burgos it's the name of the city and it's in the north of Spain (Castilla y León region)

The "Cabrales" cheese. Cabrales it's a town in the region named Asturias also in the north of Spain.

The "Idiazabal" cheese. This is from the Basque Country also in the north of Spain.

It may be difficult what you are planning but I think it's a great idea. I was in the dairy industry when I was young and I'd have loved to have done that.

My best wishes to you. I hope you realise your ambition.
