OUR GUESTS’ WORDS

  • 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.

    We organised Terra che Vive to come to our villa and run a pasta making class, then have them cook our party of 12 dinner. This was such an amazing experience! They were well organised bringing all required equipment and arrived with 3 staff who were professional and friendly all evening. The food and level of service was incredible. Highly recommend.

    Rosaria is an excellent and passionate guide! As owner, she feels and breaths the passion for perfect olive oil. She gave us extra time to answer our questions and even a small souvenir. I will recommend it 100%. Thanks, Rosaria!

  • My wife and I had an amazing time during the tour, cheese-making, and cheese-eating. Marco was an amazing guide, as he walked us through the history of the location, the cheese-making processes, and answered any questions we had. Our time cheese-making with Umberto was easy and fun! We enjoyed the private nature of the tour, and ended our time with a private meal, both with the cheeses we made, and cured meats (and of course some wine). I highly recommend this tour. The entire experience is very much worth the cost.

    Beautiful cooking experience. We were warmly received by the hosts in a beautiful masseria. We cooked under the guidance of the mother and grandmother of the house and prepared different kinds of pasta. They were extremely kind and patient. We enjoyed our meals on a beautiful terrace with some lovely wine. Would strongly recommend the experience!
