Imsil Cheese Village is the home of Korean cheese. In 1966, Father Didier t'Serstevens (Korean name: Ji Jeong-hwan), a Belgian priest, brought two mountain goats to the village and started making cheese. He worked day and night with the locals to make the cheese that has earned its current reputation. Imsil Cheese Village runs experience programs such as mozzarella cheese making and yogurt making.
