Full description
Have you ever wondered how the cheese you put on your table is made? In the province of Pescara you can find out by transforming yourself into a cheesemaker for a day!
A 3-hour experience awaits you in Pietranico, where a guide will reveal the secrets of cheese-making and accompany you on a relaxing walk.
You will immerse yourself in centuries-old olive groves and the scent of wild herbs, ending on a high note with a good glass of wine or herbal tea for the little ones.
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Pietranico (PE). Our guide will be waiting for us, who will welcome us in the centre of the village and then accompany us to his property to begin this rural adventure!
After an introduction on the nature of Abruzzo and its particularities, we will set off on a cognitive walk in the natural setting surrounding the property. Depending on the season, we will stop to pick wild herbs, which are essential for giving our cheese a unique touch. We will continue the visit by admiring the family olive grove, while the guide will tell us stories and curiosities related to the area.
We will then get to the heart of the cheese-making workshop. Here theory will meet practice: the processes that turn milk into cheese will be explained to us, and we will perform each step together. We will make our first-salt mould and then prepare a soft ricotta. It will be fascinating to watch the material transform under our hands!
To end the experience in total relaxation, we will enjoy a glass of local wine or, for the little ones, herbal tea.
The activity will last a total of 3 hours.
