During my honeymoon, I found this place to experience making fresh cheeses. Marco, the owner introduce his farm and show around the landscape, history and let us know how to operate the farm. Highlight experience was making mozzarella and burrata cheese. Artisan, Umberto and Marco there, translates in English for us(we don’t speak Italian). It was mind blowing time during stay in Puglia. Thank you Marco and Umberto. If anyone interests in this place, it will be worth it.

Bellissima esperienza. Marco è una buonissima fonte di ispirazione e ha tante iniziative da proporre. Noi abbiamo preso parte alla preparazione di mozzarelle e burrata sotto la guida del casaro Umberto. Attività consigliatissima. VOTO 10!

My family and I had a fantastic time making pasta with Nonna Antonella and Chef Davide. We learned how to make four types of pasta and a delicious sauce, then toured the historic farm buildings before eating a delicious meal of local delicacies, wine and, of course, the pasta we had shaped. The experience was a highlight of our time in Puglia and I can't recommend it highly enough. Furthermore, the Terra Che Vive team was extremely responsive and communicative from the time I sent my initial inquiry until we arrived for the class. I would definitely book with Terra Che Vive again!

Anbefales på det varmeste! Unik opplevelse på en liten gård i nærheten av Locorotondo. Vi lærte å lage pasta (orrechiette, strascinate og cavatelli) av nonna Fransesca. Marco forklarte underveis og supplerte med mye kunnskap om pastalaging, om Puglia generelt, etc. Avsluttet med et deilig måltid med både egenlaget pasta og lokale spesialiteter. Både vi foreldre og de tre tenåringene storkoste seg.

An absolutely wonderful experience! Our Italian host, Marco, was well spoken and beautifully informed. We have never thought of doing cheese making, however, this will be long remembered. Cheese makers, Umberto and Francesco, were delightful and made us feel “part of the team”. They encouraged us to be fully involved (with our hands) in every step. Our labors were rewarded with delicious cheeses to eat! Lunch also included local meats! A tremendous event!! Highly recommended!!!

A spectacular morning in Puglia! Making cheese in the dairy, preparing pasta and bread with Grandma in the kitchen, touring the farm, and then a veritable feast for lunch. A must do experience!
