Experience the authentic flavors of the Sorrento Peninsula with an unforgettable mozzarella-making workshop in the charming town of Vico Equense. This 120-minute immersive experience invites you into the heart of a traditional artisanal dairy farm nestled in the beautiful Lattari Mountains.
Guided by Antonio, a young master cheesemaker who is a proud guardian of ancient family secrets, you will step behind the scenes to discover the art of dairy production. From the creamy goodness of fresh butter to the complex, aged notes of the famous Provolone del Monaco, you will learn the heritage behind Campania’s most iconic products.
The highlight of your visit is the hands-on session in the spinning room. Equipped with a professional smock and sterile cap, you will get your hands in the dough, learning the delicate techniques required to shape bocconcini, caciocavallo, and the dairy’s signature product: the exquisite 'fior di latte' mozzarella. This is not just a demonstration; it is an active participation in a centuries-old craft.
Once the work is done, it is time to reward your efforts. Sit back and enjoy a curated tasting of fresh and aged cheeses, perfectly paired with local cured meats, homemade bread, and a glass of fine regional wine. Whether you are enjoying the summer breeze on the outdoor patio or the cozy atmosphere of the indoor dining room in winter, this sensory journey promises to be a highlight of your Italian vacation.
This activity is perfect for food lovers, families, and culture seekers looking to connect with the authentic roots of Southern Italy. Book your spot today and prepare for a delicious adventure in the heart of the Sorrento Peninsula!
