Immersed in the green of the Vicane hills, Maestro Casaro Antonio will take you to the family dairy founded at the beginning of the twentieth century and will make you become the protagonists of Mozzarella with hands directly into pasta and explanations of processing techniques after which you will taste the delicious cheeses.

Mozzarella shaped like an elephant? Yes please!

5.00Angela and Antonio were lovely hosts for our morning at Caseificio Starace. We were able to park in the driveway, which took away the headache of finding parking. Loved seeing the authentic cheese making experience. Our meal on the patio with red wine, salami, bread and multiple fresh cheese and butter was stellar. Antonio made an elephant and a pig for our kids, which they were astounded by! Appreciated hearing the stories and traditions from this fifth generation family-run business. My only surprise was that we only spent about 5 minutes ourselves working with the cheese (the 4 of us forming our own balls, 1 of us making a flat pizza shape, 1 of us stretching one piece). In previous cheese making classes we have been involved at every step (cutting, stirring, stretching, forming, etc.) so I would classify this as more of an observation class than a hands-on class. Still a memorable experience and I would recommend!
Excellent mozzarella experience

5.00What a truly wonderful experience! Angela and Antonio are not only incredibly talented cheese makers, but also absolutely adorable — and unintentionally hilarious — together. If you’re looking for an experience that’s authentic, delicious, heartwarming, and fun, this is an absolute must-do. Five stars aren’t enough. We loved it!
Laughing and learning in Vico Equense!

5.00Andrea and Antonio are knowledgeable, skilled, and simply fun hosts. They kindly held a class for me even though I was the only one registered and made me feel right at home. They were patient with my many questions as a food and agriculture nerd and spared no fascinating detail about their cheese operation. Vico equense is also very charming and easy to travel to from Napoli. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone visiting the area!
Wonderful Authentic Experience

5.00Just a lovely morning in the hills up from Vico Equense. Antonio & Angela are a lovely couple and magnificent hosts. Treat yourself! Relax. Live in the moment. Learn (hands on) how to make mozzarella. The grounds and gardens are wonderful. Visit the shop after you have an incredible meal.

5.00Forget Capri and Sorrento. Mozzarellamaking at Caseficio Starace in Vico Equense gives a unike and authentic experience no one should miss. The Starace couple share an enthusiastic knowledge of their skill and make you enjoy every minute from entering their factory to tasting a generous plate of cheeses, meat with bread and wine.

5.00We lived a unique and unforgettable experience. Antonio, Maestro Casaro made us put our hands in dough, in addition to seeing the transformation of rennet into excellent products we made with our hands morsels, mozzatura and braids. The expert hands and passion for craftsmanship and tradition of Antonio and his family are the main ingredients of their excellent product. Excellent tasting in the garden, under a pergola , prepared by Angela with their products... Experience highly recommended for young and old.
Once in a lifetime experience - so happy 😊

5.00This was the most gorgeous experience for mum, dad and four teen/adult children. So welcoming and fascinating for all. You never get to see things like this in the UK and I am so glad we had the chance to experience exactly what is involved - all the care, love and passion that goes into the sixth generation fior de latte makers. And it was totally delicious. Antonio made it fun and engaged us all. I would highly recommend. I think families with younger children would absolutely love it too!
