Mozzarella Experience - Cheese Tasting Tour at Masseria Fragnite
Description
Visit an authentic Masseria Pugliese and discover how Mozzarella, Burrata, Caciocavallo and many other typical products of southern Italy are born! You can taste fresh and mature cheeses, typical cold cuts and much more... all in absolute relaxation. An experience that will take you to learn about the history of a small farm and its great craftsmanship! The visit is usually carried out in English, in order to find a common language for our guests, but you can ask for some explanations in French, since our guide speaks French too. Since the activity takes place on a farm and partially outdoors, it is recommended to wear closed shoes and clothing appropriate to outdoor temperatures. Any pets are welcome in Masseria, except for the visit inside the production plant of Mozzarella; we inform you that in the company there are other free pets.

Very good tour, informative, detailed and friendly. From field to fork was a great experience and the food was plentiful and delicious. Thank you Roberto who made the mozzarella and Luciana, our guide. Highly recommended
What a fantastic day!!! If you’re staying near Ostuni 100% book this tour. It’s a great bit of fun, you get to learn so much about cheese and how it’s created and most importantly get to enjoy a big cheese tasing at the end which was delicious!! 5 stars from us.
Great experience. The best part was sampling the delicious cheese. My familt loved it!!!
Great tour of the masseria and farm and of course the mozzarella area. We got to see how they make the cheese and afterwards, we had an enormous lunch and tasting provided by the masseria. Would definitely recommend!!
Fantastic! If you like cheese, you will love this tour! Full end to end explanation of the process from seeing the cows to sampling the cheese. Highly recommend! And the sampling was more like a full picnic lunch!
One of the best parts of our holiday! So authentic and lovely guides. Dont eat before hand as the cheese tasting provides a lot of food!
Really enjoyed the tour and tasting. Right level of information and engaging host. Totally recommend.
Beautiful experience!! Good tasting. To be recommended
Booked for 4 of us to visit, so that was approx. £120. The guide Lucia was friendly enough, one of the family I think, but was constantly on her phone messaging people which was really rude. The group was too large and it was hard to hear over kids and people translating to family members. 30 people at £30/head is nearly a £1000 for a rubbish visit and they do this several times a day. We arrived, were shown a cow, in case we had never seen one before.., then a sad calf in a stinking hot calf pen, then a grotty milking parlour. We then got to the interesting bit making the mozzarella - this lasted maybe 10 minutes and then we were told the tour was over!! We sat down and were brought some meats and cheeses - no labels on them which would have improved the tasting experience - Lucia couldn't wait to clear off with her phone. I went into the little shop to try and buy some focaccia and jam (which we had tasted and was excellent). Nope they had none! Really rude woman in shop too. I bitterly regret wasting the £120 and would urge caution.
Great visit to a Masseria and to see dairy cheese production. The visit was informative and gave a good understanding into the different stages of the process. To finish we got to try the various cheeses, focaccia, tarelli, with wine and water. There is a so much food so come hungry. We ended up leaving quite a bit!
