The Artisan Cheese Fair arrives in Marbella

The Artisan Cheese and Dairy Products Fair 'QuesArte Marbella' is offering a wide variety of items at its 18 stands located on Avenida del Mar until Sunday, May 25th. The Councilor for Commerce, María José Figueira, attended the opening of the event today and highlighted that "although it is the first time it is held in our city, it is sure to be very successful and continue over time." She also emphasized that "in addition to the high quality that attendees can find here, they have the opportunity to deal directly with the seller, without intermediaries," encouraging both citizens and visitors to attend this event, "which is also located in the epicenter of the town." In this regard, this fair, which is organized in different Andalusian capitals, allows consumers to personally convey their inquiries to the producers and receive advice on product preservation, among other aspects.

This event, co-organized by the Marbella City Council in collaboration with the non-profit association Aquesart, is held from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM today and tomorrow Saturday, and until 6:00 PM on Sunday. The president of Aquesart and head of the organization, Juan Carlos Lobo, specified that "there are 16 cheese dairies, a cheesecake stand and another for artisanal ice creams, from the best ice cream maker in the country." Among the attractive products are also those from artisanal cheese dairies from various parts of Spain, such as 'Quesos y besos', 'Quesos El Pastor del Torcal', 'Idiazabal Aranburu', 'Quesos Don Apolonio', 'Quesos La Pastora de Grazalema', 'Queso de Mahon-Menorca SÁrangí', and 'Quesos La Covacha', among others. He also indicated that among the items present is the best cheese in the world 2022 and others nominated in national contests, as well as silver and bronze cheeses from the recent sector competition in Spain.

At this event, visitors can purchase tickets from the organization to taste 8 cheese tapas for 7 euros, as well as buy products directly from the stands and accompany them with drinks at the bar that has been set up. "Everyone who comes here will have a variety of items to choose from," Lobo pointed out, highlighting the support received from the City Council.
