Let's go to the discovery of Fior di latte "La Mozzarella" in one of the oldest dairies on the Sorrento Peninsula under the slopes of Mount Faito.
Immersed in the greenery of the Vican hills, Master Cheesemaker Antonio will take you to the family dairy founded at the beginning of the twentieth century and will make you become the protagonists of Mozzarella with hands directly in the dough and explanations of the processing techniques after which you can taste the delicious cheeses.

Thank you for the great experience! We were shown and explained exactly how mozzarella is made, starting with the milk, and we were allowed to make mozzarella balls and bows ourselves. The tasting plate for everyone at the end was delicious. We felt very welcome from the start and almost like part of the family by the end. The couple are very friendly and answer all questions in understandable English. We would go back anytime!

After a warm welcome from Antonio and his wife Angela, we were given a comprehensive tour of the cheese factory and even could try forming our own mozzarella-balls. We were given lots of information regarding the cheese-making process from start to finish, for different cheese-varieties (mozzarella, caciocavallo, provolone etc.). Following the tour, we were treated to a delightful mixed antipasto platter featuring the farm's own products, followed by a dessert made with their deliciois ricotta. It was an incredibly informative and enjoyable experience, espacially because it was just the two of us. The cheese factory is easily accessible by bus (circolare sinistra from train station Vico Equense to Massaquano) and is located in a charming mountain village, away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento. After the visit, we took a leisurely walk back to Vico Equense (bringing a car gives you the opportunity to buy some of Antonios wonderful products!). All in all an absolutely fantastic experience! Thanks again, Manuel & Julia

We cannot recommend this experience enough! We felt right at home from the moment we arrived, as the family was so welcoming. We had so much fun learning more about their multigenerational business and getting to work hands-on with the mozzarella! After this, the hosts went above and beyond to create a warm and peaceful atmosphere where we could enjoy food, drink, and the beautiful surroundings! Book now!

This was such a fun experience! The hosts were so gracious and friendly and we all had a great time learning about and making mozzarella. Antonio entertained us with his various shapes. Afterwards we had a delicious feast on cheeses, meats, bread and wine with a delicious cake for dessert. Definitely recommend this for someone in the area looking for a fun activity!

The experience at Caseificio Starace is one of the most unique and special time we had while staying in Italy.
Antonio and Angela invite you into their home and treat you to a fun tour of their multigenerational-run dairy as you have your try at making mozzarella! They not only invited us into their home but truly made us feel like good friends visiting.
It is well worth the trip if you’re staying in Sorrento! We found the best way to get here was to take the train to the Vico Equense station and take a cab up to Caseificio Starace. If you’re able, take the ~25 minute walk through Vico Equense to return to the station (street: via Artiviello) and take in stunning views!
Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy and we plan to return! Thank you Antonio and Angela!

This day at the dairy was a wonderful experience that I recommend to all mozzarella lovers and beyond!!
From the beginning Antonio and Angela were very helpful and guided us throughout the entire journey and with great patience they answered all our questions and curiosities!
We felt welcomed and during the experience they showed us all the steps to make mozzarella, which we were later able to taste during the tasting, which was also excellent!
Finally, I recommend everyone to go and buy the products of this dairy which are truly of excellent quality.
Thanks Antonio and Angela!!!
