Collesano Cheese Factory located in Madonnie Park

For this tour we started out from the Base in two Mini buses. Everything was going along fine when a young dog ran in front of the car in front of us. The car swerved and missed the dog. Our Mimi Bus slowed down to avoid the car and the dog and we all sighed in relief and about then we were rear ended by the other Mini bus, thus disabling the other bus. I think nearly all the passengers had whip lash, Heather hit her head against the window and she had a mild concussion. All of us wanted to continue on , so our Mini Bus took our group on the Cheese Factory and then went back for the rest of our passengers. Lots of Tylenol, Motrin and Aleve was taken that day.
The Cheese Factory located in Madonnie Park (was like a nature preserve)was an organic cheese farm run by one Family. The cheese vats, first produces Ricotta cheese and then from that vat they develop the other cheese like Provolone, Parmesan, depending on time, spices and herbs used. We were served a light lunch of the cheeses made there, homemade bread, olives and fresh milk. This family have about 20 cows that they use for milking and making the different organic products. It was a very clean and well organized operation. Nothing like any cheese factory we have in the States with there high volume to be sold. It was very interesting the owners were very sweet and did not speak any English, lucky for us we had a lady in our group that spoke Italian and could translate for us.
After our tour was concluded the Base had sent another Mini Bus so there were sets for us all . So were off to our next destination.
