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 visited a lovely Masseria where they toured us around the farm and showed us the process of making mozzarella and burrata. Marco was extremely informative! The cheese was so delicious and we were able to have a nice lunch of bread, cheese, meats, and wine afterwards. Would 100% recommend for an authentic Puglian experience. Grazie Marco!

    Loved it! We did a fantastic cheese making morning lead by Marco with cheese maker Umberto. We only speak English, which I thought might be a bit challenging in regional Italy, but Marco was awesome and made us feel comfortable right away. The knowledge they imparted, hands on learning and good communication was very memorable. If we hadn’t done the class on our last day in Puglia I would have booked more!

  • Pasta making and private home cooking chef geboekt bij terra che vive in ons vakantie huis in Puglia. Communicatie vooraf via mail ging zeer soepel en duidelijk. Tot in de puntjes besproken en uitgevoerd! Davide en Fransesco hebben ons de fijne kneepjes van het pasta maken geleerd en ons daarna een heerlijk diner voorgeschoteld. Alles schoon achtergelaten. Ontzettend goed geslaagde avond. Kan dit iedereen aanraden!

    Wonderful experience! Tour of cheese making facility was extremely interesting and then the farm made it all so real. The cheese, meats, bread, wine, water and dessert afterwards were delicious. Well worth the drive and price.

    ביקרנו בהדרכתו של מרקו בחווה לא רחוק ממרטינה פרנקה. הוא נתן לנו סקירה על האזור ועל ההיסטוריה של המקום. ראינו איך מכינים מוצרלה ובוראטה. למדנו איך מכינים פסטה מקומית. לבסוף קיבלנו ארוחת טעימות של גבינות, נקניקים ויין. מרקו נחמד ואדיב. נהננו מאוד ואנחנו ממליצים בחום.

    Highly recommend to take this class! It is truly unique experience. You make cheese with our own hands, and you eat it...during the process and after. Marco is knowledgeable about the farm and good English, very nice. I would go again if visit Puglia.
