The Álora Cheese Fair is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year for lovers of good cheese and culinary traditions. Held annually in the picturesque town of Álora in Málaga, this festival pays tribute to the region's rich cheese-making history and its inhabitants' passion for quality dairy products.




With over 800 words of exquisite flavours and aromas, the Álora Cheese Fair attracts visitors from all over eager to sample the delicacies that local producers have to offer. From aged cheeses with robust textures and intense flavours to softer, creamier varieties, the variety of dairy products on display at the fair is truly impressive.
Goat cheeses are one of the stars of the fair, with their characteristic pronounced flavour and firm, compact texture. Sheep cheese, with its more delicate and smooth flavour, also has a prominent place on the stands of local producers. Fresh cheeses, ideal for gentler palates and to enjoy in salads or as an accompaniment to light dishes, are not missing from this gastronomic celebration.



In addition to traditional cheeses, at the Álora Cheese Fair you can also find innovative products that fuse traditional techniques with modern and creative ingredients. Smoked cheeses, cheeses with aromatic herbs, and even cheeses with exotic flavours that surprise and delight the most adventurous visitors.
But the Álora Cheese Fair goes beyond the mere tasting of dairy products. It is also a cultural event that celebrates the region's cheese-making tradition and pays tribute to local producers who, with their artisanal work, keep this ancient tradition alive. Cheese-making workshops, commented tastings, competitions and gastronomic exhibitions are just some of the activities that visitors can enjoy during the fair.
In short, the Álora Cheese Fair is much more than just a gastronomic event. It is a celebration of culture, history and a passion for quality products. A unique encounter where aromas, flavours and traditions combine to offer an unforgettable experience to all lovers of cheese and good food. Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in this feast for the senses and discover the magic of the Álora Cheese Fair!
