We then continued with our cheese making and fully deserved breakfast whilst our cheeses set. Our guide Elaine was very informative throughout the process and provided us with some excellent local recommendations for visits and restaurants.

“This class felt like stepping into an Italian family’s kitchen, warm, fun, and full of heart. The instructors were so welcoming and knowledgeable. They first showed us how to make the cheese and then we had the opportunity to individually have a hands-on experience. And the cheese… wow. I’ve never tasted mozzarella this fresh and flavorful in my life. Creamy, soft, and slightly salty — it was perfection. I’ll never look at store-bought mozzarella the same way again. Highly recommend this activity!!!”
