    Merece la pena si vas con niños porque la mayor parte del tiempo están viendo animales. Los señores que hacen la mozarella son fantásticos, pero solo dura 15min realmente.

    My partner and I had the best time making mozzarella, burrata and stracciatella in a caseificio off the beaten track! Marco showed us around the property and guided us through the workshop and dedicated so much time to making sure we had a great experience!

  • Myself and 3 others booked a tour and lunch with Terra Che Vive. It stands out as one of my favourite activities our our trip to Italy. The communication with the establishment was excellent and food requests were honoured. The actual day was spectacular - we enjoyed the small group experience and the beautiful landscape. Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I can't say enough about the lunch - it surpassed all of our expectations both in terms of variety, presentation, and taste. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an "away from the maddening crowds" experience and what that reflects the true southern Italian culture. Thank you all.

    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!

    We booked the Mozzarella tasting tour, and it exceeded our expectations. From the first contact with Marco until the very end of our experience, we felt we were in the hands of real professionals. Marco met us at the farm on time. We had some problems with luggage storate and Marco made sure they were handled before our tour started. He took us to different points of interest, including a demonstration of the making of various cheeses, stories about the farm history and more. The place itself is pleasant and relaxing, it also has some accomodation options we plan to try next time. During the demonstration we tasted amazing mozzarella and burrata, and later we also had other delicious items, including cured meats, wine and a dessert. The experience was pleasant, our 13 year old daughter loved to see the farm animals, which are kept in good welfare in health by people who really love what they do. Authentic, excellent experience, highly recommend Marco and the team.

  • Fantastic event! Marco and Davide were wonderful hosts and the food and wine were delicious. The atmosphere was quaint starting with a glass of wine in the olive grove, to the baking of the bread in a historic oven in a Truli to making of the pasta and then cooking everything. Highly recommend it!
