Mellieha, the perfect base for the country and the beach
The sound of bells ringing faintly in the distance makes a morning visit to the wide beach at Ghadira Bay even more special.

Yet, like garage wines, this coinage accurately captures the essence of a unique category of Maltese cheeses insofar as the meticulous artisanal processes that give them their distinctive flavours and shapes take place in tiny living rooms. Alongside authentic farmhouse cheeses, they imbue Maltese artisanal cheesemaking with a distinct energy of its own.
