What a truly wonderful... - What a truly wonderful experience! Angela and Antonio are not only incredibly talented cheese makers, but also absolutely adorable — and unintentionally hilarious — together. If you’re looking for an experience that’s authentic, delicious, heartwarming, and fun, this is an absolute must-do. Five stars aren’t enough. We loved it!

Laughing and learning in Vico Equense! - Andrea and Antonio are knowledgeable, skilled, and simply fun hosts. They kindly held a class for me even though I was the only one registered and made me feel right at home. They were patient with my many questions as a food and agriculture nerd and spared no fascinating detail about their cheese operation. Vico equense is also very charming and easy to travel to from Napoli. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone visiting the area!

Cheese Please! - Just a lovely morning in the hills up from Vico Equense. Antonio & Angela are a lovely couple and magnificent hosts. Treat yourself! Relax. Live in the moment. Learn (hands on) how to make mozzarella. The grounds and gardens are wonderful. Visit the shop after you have an incredible meal.

Top experience - Top experience. Super sweet people. You can get started yourself and then you can sit down at the table to taste everything. Everything is artisanal. Highly recommended.

A taste of Paradise! - Forget Capri and Sorrento. Mozzarellamaking at Caseficio Starace in Vico Equense gives a unike and authentic experience no one should miss. The Starace couple share an enthusiastic knowledge of their skill and make you enjoy every minute from entering their factory to tasting a generous plate of cheeses, meat with bread and wine.

Flavours and tradition of Vico Equense - We lived a unique and unforgettable experience. Antonio, Maestro Casaro made us put our hands in dough, in addition to seeing the transformation of rennet into excellent products we made with our hands morsels, mozzatura and braids. The expert hands and passion for craftsmanship and tradition of Antonio and his family are the main ingredients of their excellent product. Excellent tasting in the garden, under a pergola , prepared by Angela with their products... Experience highly recommended for young and old.

Once in a lifetime experience - so happy 😊 - This was the most gorgeous experience for mum, dad and four teen/adult children. So welcoming and fascinating for all.
You never get to see things like this in the UK and I am so glad we had the chance to experience exactly what is involved - all the care, love and passion that goes into the sixth generation fior de latte makers. And it was totally delicious. Antonio made it fun and engaged us all. I would highly recommend.
I think families with younger children would absolutely love it too!

Unique and fun experience - Searched where to go in the morning and this exerience seemed like a fun thing to do. Booked it and had only an hour to get there. Started the walk from Vico Equense and what a climb! We're in good shape, but the heat and the steep climb took a toll. Resting couple of times on the way, we managed the climb. Great view half way up. The place is gorgeus and the owners are very friendly. Walked around their garden before the thing started. We were lucky to be the only ones there this time. They showed how fiore di latte (mozzarella) was made and all other kind of cheese. Got to make some our selves. Was joyful and ineresting. Afterwards sat in the garden and ate different kind of cheese, some ham and wine. Bought some along too. All this was well worth the climb 😄. Would do it again any time. The family is great.

Go there. - We went to the family dairy to buy the caciocavallo del Monaco. The product is really special and delicious but I want to talk about more. We were greeted with smiles by Antonio who spoke passionately about his products. A palpable and contagious passion that those who live in the city unfortunately no longer know. The small farm is surrounded by a huge vegetable garden, full of flowers, vegetables, fruit trees that get you drunk on perfumes. In such a place and with such a light could also be exquisite sawdust. We also met Antonio’s parents proudly representing members of a peasant civilization that the big food distribution chains, aime’, are destroying. Hold on, Antonio. Paolo and Stefania from Rimini
