Mahón-Menorca PDO Cheese Contest
The Consell Insular holds an annual contest each year to select the best Mahón-Menorca Protected Designation of Origin cheese, blind-judged by the Regulatory Council's tasting panel. In the 2026 edition, the awards were presented on 3 July in Ferreries within a fair of artisan and agricultural produce, with over 80% of the island's cheesemakers taking part.
