psyfi Posted November 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2016 We are doing a cruise and will have several days in Rome, we also port in Livorno, Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia. Would any of these be good spots for a cheese factory tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted November 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2016 There was a thread here about someone wanting to do a tour of a cheese factory last year. I believe it was in Paestum, out of Naples. Made fresh mozzarella de bufalo. Honestly, that is the only time I remember cheese tours talked about.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted November 28, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2016 What exactly are you looking to do/see? Can't really think of any "cheese factories" -- are you thinking of a "fattoria" (which in Italian means a farm, not a factory)? There are many farms specializing in buffalo mozzarella around Paestum, as mentioned above. It's a fair drive from Naples, though it could be done (and possibly also a quick visit to the outstanding ruins at Paestum) with either a private driver or if you rent a car and drive. Other than that, your best bet might be to try to arrange something on one of your days in Rome. You'd probably have to look online for recommendations in Umbria or Tuscany. I did see an interesting segment on a goat cheese operation in Umbria, link here:https://dreamofitaly.com/tv-show/umbria/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyfi Posted December 10, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Thanks! I saw something about a place near Naples that does a buffalo mozzarella making class that I thought might be cool. I was hoping for Parmasean but I'd have to give up my day in Florence to pull it off, or extend my trip and add on Parm/Genoa so I think that is out.
