Cheese Farm Experience

To experience the authentic taste of the region’s rural traditions, there’s nothing like spending a day in the Lazio countryside.

A car picks you up at your accommodation and the drive out of Rome is 1 hour through fields and umbrella pine-lined roads. Upon arrival, you are welcomed with a warm and humble ritual: la colazione del casaro, or the cheesemaker’s breakfast. This traditional morning snack features freshly made, still-warm ricotta cheese mixed with coffee, a simple yet surprising combination that offers a genuine taste of local culture.

The visit of the farm starts with a guided stroll through fields to meet the healthy livestock grazing freely in the pasture lands, learning about the traditional and natural farming methods used.

At the cheese-making facility, you’ll witness the production of the cheese being made that day. You’ll receive an in-depth explanation of the cheese-making process. When possible, a live demonstration can be arranged, and for an additional price, guests may even experience this hands-on, depending on group size and the farm’s production schedule.

After the tour, you’ll enjoy a generous outdoor tasting, featuring a selection of artisanal cheeses and traditional cured meats with wine. To elevate the experience further, you’ll sit down for a full lunch built around the farm’s seasonal and homegrown ingredients.

Please note: Given farm animals produce limited amounts of milk in the hotter months, visits cannot be scheduled in the months of July and August
