Fieldwork for WP2 Underway with UNIOVI Team

The fieldwork for Work Package 2 (WP2) has officially begun, led by the University of Oviedo (UNIOVI) team. Santiago Rodríguez Pérez, coordinator of the fieldwork, accompanied by Lucía Pérez, visited Marta Fernández Martínez, the owner of the traditional cheese factory Ca Sanchu, on Thursday, 30 January.

During the visit, all procedures outlined in the guidelines for this task were strictly followed. Marta Fernández Martínez provided a detailed explanation of the production process for the artisanal Asturian cheese “Afuega’l Pitu.” Her insights contributed valuable knowledge to the research, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of traditional cheese-making techniques.

This visit marks an important step in the WP2 research process, reinforcing the commitment to preserving and documenting Asturias’ rich cultural and gastronomic heritage.
