Caseificio Starace

Wonderful experience. My wife and I had fun. Our hosts were warm friendly people. Thank you

We had an incredible time at Caseificio Starace. We ended up having a bit of experience getting lost on the way and getting there as we had the wrong address (was not listed correctly on Apple Maps), but Angela was amazing and came to the spot we were and picked us up where we were! Seriously grateful to her and Antonio's grace and care, not just during the tour but to help us out when we were lost on the way! The experience itself was great! Angela showed us how their cheese was made and how every part of the process (the whey, cream, etc...) is used. We got to mold and make cheese, and the lovely cheese tasting afterwards in their garden was incredible. You might fine other mozzarella experiences, but the homestyle feel of our time there was incredible! Thank you guys!

My teenaged son, spouse, and I had a great time watching how mozzarella is made, shaping it, and then tasting it along with other local foods. We learned that Starace is one of only two that doesn't use chemicals to speed up the process of cheesemaking so it's much slower and more traditional. We also learned that the weather in different parts of Italy affects what cheeses can be made in those locations. Our hosts were wonderful, and it was great to see a family business still going strong after generations. We originally were going to go to another dairy, but that one seemed quite disorganized. We were all glad it worked out to come to Starace instead.

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.
