  • Beautiful location and accurate explanation about the olive oil production. Rosaria and Giorgio gave us a very warm welcoming and, cherry on top, the olive oil testing was a fun and interesting experience.

    My family thoroughly enjoyed our private cheesemaking experience with Marco and Terra Che Vive! We loved everything from the tour of the masseria to the hands on cheesemaking class! Umberto's cheese was delicious...we are still dreaming about it!

    Our dairyman for the day experience was truly enjoyable! We learned so much about the process to make different kinds of mozzarella/Burrata and got “recompense “ for the work we did, deliciously. I have a greater appreciation for eating and enjoying Burrata/Mozzarella after spending the day with Roberto and Marco. If you are in Puglia, this a must not miss experience!!

  • We had a wonderful experience at Madonna Dell'Arco with Marco. He was very informative and extremely professional. I would highly recommend experiencing one of his tours. My four children, husband, and I did the cheese demonstration, pasta making, and lunch. We all enjoyed ourselves. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Puglia.

    Io e la mia compagna abbiamo deciso di trascorrere una mattina in masseria, provando l’esperienza da casaro presso una masseria a Martina Franca.

    L’esperienza è stata meravigliosa, sia il casaro che il referente di Terra Che Vive ci hanno accompagnato col sorriso in ogni momento, dalla visita della masseria alla lavorazione delle mozzarelle.

    Complimenti davvero, consigliatissimo!

    Our host was exceptional and very kind, providing us with a variety of local foods to try, along with stories to go with them. The experience itself was very intimate and authentic, as we prepped 3 types of pasta in an old wine cellar and ate our preparations (and then some) on the back patio. We learned a great deal about Italian living and the food was absolutely delicious. The intention is to do this anytime were in the Puglia region!
