OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • It was so amazing, we had the best time with davide and francesco, who were both so patient with some of our not-so-talented chefs. The meal itself was delicious, we were with people from Venice and Milan, and they loved the meal so much. The sausage mushroom cherry tomato sauce was beyond my wildest dreams.

    Rosaria is an excellent and passionate guide! As owner, she feels and breaths the passion for perfect olive oil. She gave us extra time to answer our questions and even a small souvenir. I will recommend it 100%. Thanks, Rosaria!

    We did Dairy an for a day. It was phenomenal. Marco showed us the farm (wear appropriate shoes as it's a farm). Then we went inside and with the help of cheese maker and artisan Umberto plus translation from Marco we made mozza, Burrata and watched Umberto craft Fior di latte cheese. It was so much fun and we learned a lot. Plus we got to eat our cheeses and some charcuterie. There was so much we had takeaway too. A great day, great experience, completely authentic, great value and one of the trip highlights. We wished we had taken more experiences from this company. I am definitely referring my friends.

  • Our tour guide was Marco and we had a cheese tasting experience at a masseria. The place was very interesting, we learned how the owners of the estate farm, the sustainable animal husbandry that takes place there was nice. The best part was the cheese manufacture, where we had a glimpse about the making of soft italian cheese and we could taste the cheese which was made a few second ago. It was sure an authentic experience. Marco speaks english well and understandable and he answered all our questions during the tour. The selected program contained a tasting after the tour which was actually a full lunch, we could hardly get up from the table :D I only feel sorry that we didn't have time for another experience with Terra Che Vive, but next time! Egy sajtkóstolóra foglaltunk helyet egy birtokra. Az előadás is érdekes volt és szimpatikus volt a farm fenntartható állattartása. Miután Marco körbevezetett minket a birtokon, a sajtműhelyben megnézhettük, hogy hogyan készítik a lágy olasz sajtokat, majd azonnal meg is kóstolhattuk a kész terméket. Ez nem egy megrendezett program volt, ez egy tényleg működő üzem, ahol minden nap munka folyik. A program része volt egy kóstoló is, ami valójában egy többfogásos ebédnek felelt meg, a helyben készült húsokat, sajtokat, zöldségeket kóstolhattuk meg. Marco jól és érthetően beszél angolul és minden kérdésünkre tudott válaszolni. Nagyon ajánlom mindenkinek, aki tényleg autentikus élményeket szeretne szerezni. Ha legközelebb a környéken járunk, biztosan újra őket keressük meg.

    We visited a cheese farm producing mozzarella and buratta, but also many other types of cheese. We were able to see the cows, the milking process, the making of mozzarella and buratta and taste local cheeses and ham at the end of the visit. Giuseppe, the owner of the farm and the tour guide was very friendly and passionate about his work. An amazing experience, we highly recommend!
