OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • Marcos tour was an absolute wonder filled with knowledge not only about the Burrata making process but historical about the region, The Masseria was beyond beautiful and even had a set of Truli's, the quality of the product we saw make and tasted was superb and as fresh as it can get. I would do it again just for the food tasting!

    Marco and chef Davide gave a very warm welcome at Davide’s family trullo. Lots of interesting history. We learned about making bread, pasta in various traditional shapes and a simple but delicious sauce. Dinner was served using what we made with some additional traditional dishes from Davide’s kitchen. Washed down with delicious wines. Adults and kids all enjoyed the experience and eating our wonderful dinner.

    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 truly enjoyed our two-hour olive oil tour and tasting in Puglia. After driving through the olive groves for three days, we arrived at the Masseria Savoia in search of answers. “Rosaria” patiently answered all of our questions about cultivating olives trees, managing olive groves, and making and refining extra virgin olive oil. It was a wonderful experience. We just received, at our home in Pennsylvania, the six bottles of extra virgin olive oil that we purchased! One day, we’d like to come back and see the new museum that Savoia is building. Such a rich history of olive oil dating back centuries. Our visit to the Masseria Savoia booked through Terra Che Vive was one of the highlights of our three week trip to Italy. Thank you. Hilary Doylestown, Pennsylvania USA
