Mozzarella Experience with Tasting in Vico Equense

I really loved this class! Antonio was a great teacher and very personable. He taught me about his third-generation family business. He walked me through the steps of making mozzarella, showing the process in his facility. I can’t wait to try making mozzarella at home :)

The nicest people. Very authentic experience at a generations old family business. We made our own mozzarella and then had a tasting. We loved it and recommend it highly.

Angela and Antonio were lovely hosts for our morning at Caseificio Starace. We were able to park in the driveway, which took away the headache of finding parking. Loved seeing the authentic cheese making experience. Our meal on the patio with red wine, salami, bread and multiple fresh cheese and butter was stellar. Antonio made an elephant and a pig for our kids, which they were astounded by! Appreciated hearing the stories and traditions from this fifth generation family-run business. My only surprise was that we only spent about 5 minutes ourselves working with the cheese (the 4 of us forming our own balls, 1 of us making a flat pizza shape, 1 of us stretching one piece). In previous cheese making classes we have been involved at every step (cutting, stirring, stretching, forming, etc.) so I would classify this as more of an observation class than a hands-on class. Still a memorable experience and I would recommend!

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!

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!
