Starting July 10th to 12th is one of the biggest food fairs to take place in Turrialba and it has to do with cheese!
The town that is famous all over Costa Rica for this delicious product will be hosting a fair completely dedicated to cheese and the local producers in the area.
Now in its nineth consecutive year, people flock from San José, the caribbean coast & other areas of the country to be able to purchase, taste and appreciate the hard work put into making delicious fresh Turrialba cheese.
The organizers of this nationally famous fair are ASOPROFOLAC (Asociación para la Promoción y el Fortalecimiento de la Actividad Láctea in spanish) an association made up of local farmers from the area of Santa Cruz of Turrialba.
But this fair also has something for those tummies that can't handle all this cheese.
There are activities that take place throughout 2 weekends that promote the culture of the area with traditional dance groups, art groups and children's activites.
The main attraction of this fair takes place the last Sunday of its run, its the unveiling of the largest piece of Turrialba cheese in Costa Rica.
We invite you to come along & join us for a family fun filled day and see what Turrialba has to offer and of course don't miss out on that special Turrialba Cheese!
