Returning to the farm to bring it back to life.

The Can Xicoy project as it exists today began in 2009, when Ferran and Adrià returned to their grandparents’ family farm in Arenys de Munt.

First came the land, woodland and animal pens. Then the herd, cheesemaking training and the first trials. In time, the farm gained its own cheesemaking room and the process was brought back together in one place.

The land, the animals and the craft form a story that is lived every day on the farm.

The land

Montnegre.

The land, the animals, the milk and cheesemaking all belong to the same place. At Can Xicoy, every cheese reflects a way of working rooted in the Montnegre.
