Become a Master Cheesemaker in Vico Equense – A Cheese Lover’s Dream

When visiting the Amalfi coast, I highly recommend taking a little time out from the magnificent beaches, to invest in developing the handy life skill of making mozzarella. At Vico Equense, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating world of traditional dairy production learning all the secrets handed down by generations of cheese makers.

You’ll begin your journey in the spinning room, where, under Antonio’s expert guidance, you will make bocconcini, caciocavallo and the renowned “fior di latte” mozzarella, the dairy’s signature product. 

You will have the opportunity to get your hands in the dough, actively participating in the production. At the end of the experience, there’s a tasting of the fresh and aged cheeses, accompanied by a glass of local wine. It’s a sensory-infused opportunity to experience authentic Campanian hospitality via its dairy traditions.

Here’s what makes this mozzarella-making experience unforgettable: 

• Tour a historic dairy – Step inside a traditional dairy founded in the early 20th century, rich in history and craftsmanship.
