OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

Great authentic experience at a dairy farm doing the cheese maker for a day private tour. Learned a lot about the process and made some delicious cheese. A very memorable day, highlight of our trip to Italy! At the end we had a huge spread of cheese we made, some other cheese they make on the farm, wine, bread, bruschetta, and cured meats.

We had amazing time with Rafaela and Clelia. Learning how to make Focaccia and Orecchiette was so easy and flawless. They are super nice, communication was smooth, they paid attention to each of us guiding us how to get the best Orecchiette. And lunch was delicious. We had the best burrata even, made same day by local artisans. Got some insights on one to to in the city and left home with their ‘secret recipes’ so we can cook the best pastas at home as well. Trusted source :)! Tried alone at home the recipes and went perfectly fine! Will definitely try it again when will come back and share with our friends as well! Grazie!!

We were a group of five and chose a fresh pasta course. The place was very authentic and comfortable. Nonna Francesca and Marco were very kind and hospitable, they explained every step and made us feel at home! I highly recommend this experience if you really want to feel Puglia in every way.

Highlight of our family vacation in Puglia. Don't miss this Agri-tourism gem. Marco gives an amazing historical tour of the "farm" with cheese making demos and tastings. This fully working farm is impeccable, animals are well cared for and it is very self sufficient. You can stay here in a Trulli and there is even a beautiful pool for guests. At the end of our tour we had samples of their wines, cheeses and meats and if course their own olive oil. I highly recommend you make a reservation as this place is not to be missed!!

עשינו סיור בחווה. הסבר על ההיסטוריה ועל חיי החווה היום ובעבר. המקום יפה ומקסים מסביב. המדריך מסביר בבהירות, ועונה על השאלות. כמו כן ראינו איך מכינים את סוגי המוצרלה והגבינות הקשורות ואז טעמנו (מוצרלה קשורה , כדורי מוצרלה, בוראטה, ספצליאטה). בקיצור מומלץ בחום.

Cheese your and tasting put a nice finishing touch to our visit to Apulia. Very informational, to die for fresh mozzarella and burrata, lovely masseria. The light cheese and meats were obviously exceptional. Wished it was a smaller crowd but still very enjoyable. DO NOT LEAVE WOTHOUT TRYING THE VANILLA ICE CREAM.

Our chef Mattia and his assistant Pia were a dream to work with. Creative, friendly, and the food was out of this world fantastic. One of the reasons we love to travel to Italy is for the amazing Culinary experience and our dinners with Terra Che Vive were some of the most exceptional.

A spectacular morning in Puglia! Making cheese in the dairy, preparing pasta and bread with Grandma in the kitchen, touring the farm, and then a veritable feast for lunch. A must do experience!
