Mozzarella and burrata making class in Vernole
One morning hour on an organic masseria, next to the cheesemaker.
What you do
Mozzarella looks easy until you try it. This is an organic teaching farm with its own dairy, and you work the curd yourself, side by side with the cheesemaker.
In one hour you make three cheeses: mozzarella, stracciatella and burrata, which needs its own way of closing. The first ones come out lopsided, and that is half the fun.
At the end you taste what you made. Before you leave, have a look in the farm shop and take some of its produce home.
By bike
The class runs from 9:30 to 10:30am, so the whole day is still yours. Pick up your bike the day before in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, ride to the farm in the morning, lock the bike with the lock we provide, then carry on with my self-guided route, GPX and roadbook.
In no hurry to ride? Brunch hours at the same masseria start at 10:30am. The class plus brunch makes a full, easy morning while the bike waits outside. It all works on a day without the bike too.
