The Jacob cheese factory produces four traditional dairy products, daily, from raw sheep's milk - cured cheese, Ricotta cheese, butter and "almece".

In this mini documentary, we follow the Jacob family, from milking, at dawn, to washing the cheese and packaging the products. We learned about the use of rennet thistle (Cynara cardunculus) for milk coagulation, and how to manually process curdled milk.

This small family business is located in São Sebastião dos Carros, in the municipality of Mértola (Baixo Alentejo, Portugal).
