Mahón cheese is made using milk from cows from Menorca and a method with a thousand-year-old tradition, the formatjat (included in the P.D.O. Regulations). Afterwards, the wind, humidity and light of Menorca are responsible for giving the cheeses their peculiar, intense and unmistakable flavour, which has become the attribute most valued by consumers.

The history of Mahón cheese on the island goes back a long time, even to prehistoric times, as is suggested by ceramic remains of utensils used to make it, dating back to the year 2,000 BC. There is written documentation from the 5th century AD that refers to the consumption of cheese on the island and Arab documents from the year 1000 that highlight the excellence of Menorcan cheese.
