OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • We were a three-generational family taking part in the tour/class, and Marco and Umberto did a fabulous job engaging all of us - from toddlers to grandparents. The tour of the farm was fun for the little ones; Marco was very knowledgeable and did a great job translating; Umberto was a skilled cheese maker and teacher; and the wine, cheese and meat tasting made for a perfect ending. We highly recommend this experience.

    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!

    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 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!!

    Brilliant experience!! Everything was great from the communication to tasting of all the different cheeses at the end. Really enjoyed learning how to make the cheese and Marco was excellent.

    We had a wonderful experience with Terra Che Vive on our Pasta making course with Chef David and his Nonna Julia at their family Trulli. Communication leading up to the event was great and the team hosted a lovely evening for our group of 6 adults. We learned about Puglian pasta and a bit of local culture. David and Francesca (of Terra Che Vive) created a wonderfully relaxed, well organized, laugh filled evening for us. And they topped it off with an incredible meal. We highly recommend!

    The farm tour and cheese tasting were wonderful! We loved learning about the history of the farm, local area and the art of cheese making. Our children had a great time, and we all agreed it was the best mozzarella and burrata we have ever had. We also enjoyed lunch at the farm restaurant after the tour and all of the food was delicious (warning, portions are generous so come hungry!).
