Uncover the secrets of southern Italy’s most beloved cheese in this private, hands-on burrata masterclass set in the rolling countryside of Puglia. Guided by a passionate local artisan on a family-run farm, this immersive experience offers a rare glimpse into the centuries-old craft of cheesemaking—rooted in tradition, taste, and terroir.
Your day begins amidst pastures and olive groves, where you’ll meet the cheesemaker and learn the story behind this indulgent delicacy—burrata, mozzarella’s luxurious cousin. Watch the delicate process unfold as fresh curds are stretched, filled with creamy stracciatella, and sealed into perfect pouches of fresh burrata.
Then, indulge in the fruits of your labor with a relaxed farm-to-table lunch under the sun. Savor just-made burrata paired with local bread, cured meats, seasonal vegetables, and a glass of Puglian wine—each bite a celebration of authenticity and simplicity.
Deeply sensory and soulfully local, this exclusive encounter connects you to the heart of Puglia’s culinary heritage and the people who preserve it.

Walk through ancient olive groves and learn how these gnarled trees—some over a thousand years old—produce liquid gold that defines southern Italian cuisine. In the estate’s historic frantoio (olive mill), you’ll uncover the secrets of harvesting, pressing, and tasting high-quality extra virgin olive oil, from fruity notes to peppery finishes.
A guided, curated tasting follows, where you’ll refine your palate and gain insight into pairing olive oils with regional dishes. Then, sit down to a leisurely farm-to-table lunch under the trees, featuring local seasonal ingredients and, of course, the estate’s own oils.
Celebrating the richness of the land and the passion of its people, this hands-on masterclass is a feast for the senses—and an unforgettable way to connect with the soul of Puglia.

This is our second incredible Italian adventure with Nancy Aiello Tours. As always, they delivered exceptional, personalized service throughout our trip.

"Although we, unfortunately, couldn’t travel due to unforeseen medical reasons, I have to commend the outstanding service we received from this travel agency, especially from Enrico. From the moment we reached out, Enrico went above and beyond to help us plan the perfect Italian getaway. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of Italy’s hidden gems were remarkable. What truly stood out was his genuine care and understanding when we had to cancel. "
