We had a blast taking the mozzarella cheese making class. Marco helped with all the translations. This is a great activity for kids as well as adults. We loved being about to tour the farm and buy other products.

Chef Davide was an excellent tutor and a very welcoming host, keeping us entertained with his family’s history and that of the area. A very unique experience in a trulli, with delicious pizza, local wine and limoncello.
