A very interesting and accessible museum about the ethnography, fauna and flora of the region and above all about the cheese-making process. But the most captivating thing was the engaging explanation given by the guide Paula Morais, tireless in her attention and availability. On a late Friday afternoon, there was no rush until after closing time! Well done! We will definitely return!

We took a very interesting guided tour about the lives of the region's populations in general and the shepherds in particular. Everything described in detail: flocks, shepherds, dogs, food, housing, defense and family. But best of all was the cheese! Like the excellent professional she proved to be, D. Paula entertained and amused while teaching everything we should know about cheese: how it was made, by whom and how to store/store and taste it!
It wasn't a guided tour, it was a conversation, as the proverb says: “conversations are like cherries” – the number of subjects, personal and less personal – that we were able to relate to during the visit was enormous.
In addition to the wonderful cheese tasting at the end! A must for anyone visiting Covilhã!
Congratulations D. Paula! A top professional!

I though that I knew everything about cheese: I was wrong ! It's a small museum but we learn a lot about Serra da Estrela cheese - from the milk to the final product ! For instance I learned something very important - that there is no validity for cheese and that we should not keep it in the regrigerator!

Museu is very small. Got some history about how the cheese is done. Get to taste 3 types at the end but the entrance fee of 5€ is not worth it.

Really nice museum showing details about sheeps and Serra da Estrela cheese production. Guided tour worth it, average 30 minutes with cheese tasting in the end. A local cheese shop has good cheese for good price.

Difficult to get there, poorly marked. Just couple of rooms with old shepherd's stuff. Not even good effort to recreate true cheese making conditions. If you're Portuguese or fluent in portugues you might enjoy the little bits of history and definitely passionate guide/worker who unfortunately completely ignored us as English speakers. Only thing in English you'll find there is a tickets price list.

In this little museum you'll find out how the delicisou Serra da Estrela cheese is made. At the end you get a tasting, too. At the store next door you'll find regional products at very reasonable prices. Personally, I alway make a stop there whenever in the area.
