What To Expect
Meet your chef right in front of our rustic-chic location in the city center where the vibes are organic, the ingredients are top-notch and the mozzarella flows like wine. Speaking of wine, you’ll start this adventure with a cold glass of Prosecco, because every masterpiece (cheese or otherwise) deserves a sparkling kickoff. Then, it’s showtime. Led by an expert cheese maker, you’ll learn how to transform fresh curds into perfect little bocconcini, twist up some nodini, braid treccine and dive into making burrata and the ultra-luxurious stracciatella (spoiler: you’re going to want to lick the bowl). Expect creative pairings like stracciatella with bottarga and lemon zest, plus a few secrets from the Simbiosi kitchen that you’ll absolutely be bragging about later. To top it all off? A guided wine tasting featuring both organic and conventional wines lets you sip, swirl and debate your favourite while soaking in the delicious chaos you just created. There will be laughter, music, mozzarella, wine, more mozzarella and possibly cheese-induced euphoria. Whether you’re a die-hard cheese lover, a wine enthusiast or just here for the chaos and carbs, this is your moment.

A Michelin star cooking class

5.00It was such a fun! If you have never tried it, you MUST! We were guided perfectly, every detail and every step were explained so clearly that we didn’t have a single doubt we could make it. Moreover the mozzarella we’ve made was actually good and tasty. After the cooking glass we had a very rich aperitivo tasting local wines and the mozzarella we’ve just made. I highly recommend for everyone who comes to visit Florence!
Excellent class.

A Perfect Finale to Our Italian Adventure

5.00We were thrilled to discover a hands-on mozzarella-making class right in the heart of Florence, and it absolutely lived up to every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the experience was both educational and genuinely fun — a wonderful combination that isn't always easy to find. The highlight, of course, was the mozzarella filata — we got fully hands-on, learning the traditional art of stretching and shaping the curd ourselves. There's something incredibly satisfying about pulling your own fresh mozzarella, and the instructor made the whole process approachable and engaging. Best of all, we got to take our homemade creations home to enjoy later! While we waited and worked, we were treated to an outstanding spread: authentic wood-fired pizza, creamy stracciatella, a generous selection of Italian cured meats, and excellent wine of course, paired with mozzarella. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so authentically Italian. This experience was the perfect way to close out our April trip to Italy. If you're visiting Florence and love food, culture, and great company — don't miss this class. It's a memory you'll carry home right alongside your mozzarella.

5.00We loved making cheese with Jess! It was so interesting to learn the process, and try to replicate the knots and braids. Lunch was also fantastic! This was so much more of a unique experience than making pasta or pizza. Highly recommend!!
Wonderful experience! Jess was a great instructor!!
