Yummy Tour! - We really enjoyed the tour- got to try many different kinds of cheese (actually so much that we couldn't even finish all the samples and took some home) and participated in making our own ricotta. Our sweet guide showed us all around the factory and told us all about how their cheese is being made.

Interesting - Guide Mauro spoke very well English and was very open to show the factory. The cheese making was also insightful.
