The tour was very interesting, we saw the different production phases and the tour guide was very friendly and informative. At the end of the tour we did some cheese tasting with a glass of white wine. All in all we had a great time and we definitely recommend this visit.

I would do this again in a heartbeat. Our guide was friendly and Knowledgeable. It was interesting to get up close to see a cheese marking process. End the end you get to try the cheese that they were making.

I would highly recommend this if you like cheese! So interesting to hear about the different Sardinian cheeses and the history of the company. After the tour you get to taste some cheeses and buy if you want to at reasonable prices

We were roaming the area when we came across this dairy farm producing local traditional cheese and ricotta and being both interested in gastronomy we wanted to visit. Little did we know that we had to do a booking to do so. Therefore we bought some produce on that day and visited the dairy the next day after a booking through email. All the staff there were very welcoming and helpful. The visit was really interesting and informative, and we had ample time to look at the production line of various cheeses and ricotta from start to finish. Our visit ended by tasting four types of cheese and some wine...all at Eu10 each. Highly recommend if visiting the area, especially those interested in gastronomy. We also managed to buy delicious, local cheese at good price to take home directly from their shop. Thumbs up for your kind service and staff.

Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst. Vakkundig door Mauro rondgeleid. Zeer interessant. Na de toer werd ik nog blij verrast met proeverij met glas wijn. Een 10/10... Doen !

Abbiamo deciso di fare una visita al caseificio per vedere una realtà produttiva locale e perchè mia figlia non mangia formaggio e volevamo che capisse come avveniva la produzione. Quello che ne è risultato è stata un esempio di qualità ed eccellenza italiana che ogni tanto sarebbe buono visitare. La scelta delle materie prime accurata, la lavorazione attenta e la professionalità e la passione di Mauro che ci ha guidato nella visita. Bellissimo il laboratorio e buona la degustazione. Vi ringrazio per averci regalato una splendida esperienza e per averci aiutato a far assaggiare il formaggio a nostra figlia.
