OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • we had a great time with Marco at Masseria Le Pianelle during our “dairyman for a day” cheese making experience. the farm is in a stunning area and we loved our tour of the farm and learning about its operation. but the best part was learning how to make mozzarella with the charming, kind, generous and funny young cheese,asker, Umberto. he was patient with our clumsy attempts, and the finished products: fior di latte, nodini, stracciatella, and burrata were delicious. this was followed by tasting of other local products, all produced at the farm, which made a lovely lunch (plus we took the leftovers of our very generous spread to enjoy in later meals at our lodgings). Marco is knowledgeable, professional and personable —we highly recommend booking one of the experiences that he offers!

    We had an incredible time with Marco and Umberto. Our daughter (3.5) talks about it constantly. They were both so wonderful with her, and she (and we!) learned so much. Highly recommend this experience.

  • 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.

    Trough Terra Che Vive we booked the ''Dairyman for a day: mozzarella and burrata making class'' It was a great experience and well guided by Marco. All steps within the process are shown whereafter you can try it yourself. The tasting afterwards is good and abundant.

  • Our cheese making tour with Marco was a wonderful experience ! We learned the full process of mozzarella and burrata making on a typical masseira with very kind cheese makers. We made our own cheese and then tasted it with a variety of other cheese and food. Grazie Marco!

    we had an amazing experience in our tour with Marco! He is very knowledgeable and we spend the morning seeing how to make cheese, pasta making class and visiting the farm - plus some delicious italian delicacies at the end! Marco was really patient and flexible and our two year old twins loved it as well. Furthermore, the staff at masseria dell'arco were also great. Would certainly recommend, and a very good price for value.

    Un addio al nubilato da ricordare con gli aneddoti di Nonna Checchina.
