Go there. - We went to the family dairy to buy the caciocavallo del Monaco. The product is really special and delicious but I want to talk about more. We were greeted with smiles by Antonio who spoke passionately about his products. A palpable and contagious passion that those who live in the city unfortunately no longer know. The small farm is surrounded by a huge vegetable garden, full of flowers, vegetables, fruit trees that get you drunk on perfumes. In such a place and with such a light could also be exquisite sawdust. We also met Antonio’s parents proudly representing members of a peasant civilization that the big food distribution chains, aime’, are destroying. Hold on, Antonio. Paolo and Stefania from Rimini

UNIQUE experience! - Luckily I came across, through social, this beautiful dairy wrapped in passion, family, kindness, integrity and the scent of the sea, which despite being in the hills, gets up there... I wanted to give this experience to my better half who loves every kind of cheese, I could not choose better .. the products are quality and prepared without affecting or modifying the old methods of their tradition, in a nutshell, if you want to taste intense flavors, unique and genuine, then they welcomed us with kindness and made you feel at home, you have to come and visit the cheese factory storace, of course ❤️🇮🇹

Great activity for a family - What a fantastic activity to do with the family. We decided to do this activity on a rainy day and we are so glad we went for it.
Our boys (6 and 3) loved it, and so did we! The class was fun and informative and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.
Only thing to say is that you better have a car to get to it, as it wasn’t easy at all to get there. But once there it was absolutely worth it.

The best original food experience on the coast. - I bought this for my partners birthday. We spend a lot of time in italy so pizza schools etc.. are a bit...no thanks.
Living part time in campagnia we have always been curious how mozarella is made and this answered ALL our questions.
Antonio and Angela were great. Full of information on the process and family history ( 6 generations of cheesemaking in the same spot. ) hard hard work every day, 8 days a week for a small business! We had great fun making terribly shaped mozarella and seeing the master at work. He made it look so easy.
Then sitting out on the terrace amongst their vegetable and fruit crops, a lovely platter of their own cheeses and meats with their own wine. ( makes you want to move there...to much U tube!)
We bought some fantastic home made limoncello in their shop ( which was constantly full of locals so you know it's good!)
We will be bringing any visitors we have here in the future. A fantastic day!
A tip, don't believe Google. Avoid going up the little road past the church. Bring a map up and pick the bigger road. The one google send you in is a goat track and there's a perfectly good road to their door!

Warm and artful - The family welcomed us warmly and involved us in the making of the mozzarella. When moulding the various products, we were allowed to lay on by hand and marvel at the special and artistic shapes and figures the chef pulled from the mozzarella batter.
The final meal was simple but hearty and absolutely satisfying. We were very taken with the kindness that was countered to us.

Sympathy and professionalism - The experience at the Starace company, located on a hill just outside the center, was more interesting than expected!. Antonio and his wife welcomed us with kindness and competence. The lesson , which was full of technical passages , was very instructive . Antonio has mastered the production of mozzarella with the most bizarre shapes! Also excellent tasting in the rural setting of the company!!

Small business, great experience! - We came to the cheese factory without prior notice.
Antonio, the owner, called his wife and she came especially for us to give us a great tour of the place with an amazing cheese tasting.
It’s a very friendly place with great cheeses.
We really enjoyed!

A UNIQUE experience - Me and my boyfriend spent a weekend on the coast and we took the opportunity to spend a day out of the ordinary. I found this experience in Vico Equense and jumped at the chance!
We were lucky enough to meet a wonderful family who welcomed us and made us feel at home. Antonio and his wife were welcoming and considerate.
They made us live the whole process of invoice of mozzarella: purely MAGICAL.
It all ended with a delicious tasting of local and genuine products.
It was an unforgettable moment!
Thanks to Antonio and Angela!
We will certainly return to visit you.
