Description
The mozzarella experience at an Apulian farm is a stay in the countryside with the people who make the cheese. The family-run masseria is one of the oldest farms in Puglia, and the guided tour starts among its animals, where cows and calves roam freely in the field.
You see the stables and the milking parlor, then move on to the dairy to meet the cheesemaker. The cheesemaker explains each step that turns milk into real Italian mozzarella and shows it as it happens. Guests do not make the cheese themselves, but you can talk to the cheesemaker and, where possible, try handling the stretched curd.
The visit ends with a tasting of products from the farm.
- Guided tour of the stables and milking parlor
- Mozzarella-making demonstration by the cheesemaker
- Tasting of fresh cheeses, cured meats and seasonal products
The experience lasts about 90 minutes. The farm is in the countryside, so you need your car to reach the meeting point, and drinks are not included. Tours in Italian may be shared with an international group, in which case English is the main language. It is not suited to people with lactose intolerance.
