From Sorrento: Farm-to-Table Pizza and Cheese-Making Class
A hands-on journey from pasture to plate on a family-run farm in the heart of Campania
This farm-to-table cooking class near Sorrento invites you into the daily rhythms of a working Italian farm, where lemon orchards, olive groves, and a wood-fired oven set the stage for an immersive culinary experience. You will leave with calloused hands, a full stomach, and a genuine understanding of how traditional Italian food is made from the ground up.
The experience begins among fragrant lemon trees, where you learn how fresh lemonade is prepared straight from the orchard. Moving through centuries-old olive groves, you taste cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and understand why soil and season matter as much as technique.
The cheesemaking session brings you into the dairy, where mozzarella, ricotta, and caciotta are crafted using traditional methods passed down through generations. No shortcuts, no industrial equipment — just milk, hands, and patience.
The afternoon culminates in the kitchen, where you knead your own dough, select farm-grown toppings, and bake a classic Margherita pizza in a wood-fired oven. Every element of the meal traces back to the land visible just outside the window.
