    We had such a wonderful time learning about how burrata and other cheeses were made. Our 3 children loved the experience and were all able to participate (ages 5 to 14). Taste testing was the best part! Would love to try another experience next time we are in Italy!

  • 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!

    Wir haben die Tour "Organic evo oil tour & tasting in an old masseria in Puglia" gemacht. Die Kommunikation mit dem Veranstalter lief super schnell und reibungslos ab. Die Tour war sehr interessant und die Tour-Führerin super lieb. Wir hatten auch Glück, sodass unsere Gruppe nur aus 4 Personen bestand. Also alles so wie man es sich vorstellt.

    We had to pleasure of planning 3 experiences with Terra Che Vive. Marco was extrtemely helpful with our planning. The cooking class in Locorotondo was beautiful! The women who hosted were so lovely and kind and the demonstration was perfect! But even better was the food!! We also toured an olive oil farm with tasting included. The tour and olive oil tasting was exceptional! Lastly, we went to a winery which has been run by a family for generations. The wine and food was lovely and the setting was beautiful! Thank you Marco for the opportunity to share in the beautiful culture of Puglia!

  • Fabulous morning spent learning to make mozzarella and buratta with TERRA Che VIVE food tasting tours in Puglia. Marco gave us a great tour of the beautiful farm which included seeing the animals followed by the cheese making class with Marco and Umberto. They made the experience both educational and entertaining and the end result was the most delicious cheese we have ever tasted. At the end of the class, students are treated to the cheese they made along with samples of other cheeses and meats. Highly recommend this activity in Puglia.

    We had an amazing time. A great opportunity to have an authentic experience and meet some wonderful people. Marco was so kind and made such an effort to ensure we had fun and learned all about the ingredients we used and the process of making pasta. This was something I’ll remember forever! Highly recommend.

    This was an extremely enjoyable tour full of very interesting information given my Marco. The cheese was absolutely delicious and could not have been fresher! The area is beautiful and accommodation at the Masseria is also offered staying in the Trulli. They looked like a lovely place to stay. We opted for the tour followed by appetisers.....warning! This is like a FULL meal. There was so much food that we were unable to finish it. Everything was tasty! I would highly recommend to anyone considering taking this tour.
