A journey to discover the art of cheesemaking
A real joy for cheese lovers! An immersive experience designed for those who want to discover the secrets of cheesemaking, get a close look at the cheesemaker’s work and experience an ancient and fascinating tradition first-hand.
Accompanied by our master cheesemaker, you will set off on a journey through the entire production chain: from a visit to the stables, where it all begins, to the dairy and on to the ageing rooms, where time and care help define the character and flavours of each cheese.
The highlight of the experience will be a hands-on demonstration dedicated to making primo sale, a fresh young cheese. Guided by the cheesemaker, you will discover the techniques, gestures and secrets of the process, with the opportunity to explore every aspect and satisfy all your curiosity.
The experience ends with a three-course lunch, an opportunity to savour the farm’s products and be won over by the authentic flavours of the area, with local specialities, a selection of cheeses and wines of our own production.
An authentic and engaging experience, ideal for those who wish to go beyond a simple tasting and get to know the art, passion and tradition behind every cheese.
