Cooking Class in Sorrento - This was one of the best experiences I have had on a trip! The location absolutely stuns one’s emotions. I never knew there were these kinds of beautiful places on the earth. The staff was incredibly funny, kind and accommodating. Mario, Gennaro and Lukas (our chef) taught us the ropes. We made the best gnocchi and eggplant parmigiana that I’ve ever eaten! Got to enjoy our creations while viewing the most beautiful panorama.
Downstairs was a lesson in olive oil production and an amazing oil tasting session. Of course, we had an opportunity to buy some of the delicious oils, pasta, balsamic vinegars. I know I will continue to purchase items from this quaint family owned company for a long time.

Amazing experience! - This tour was amazing! As a 13 year old, I found the whole experience really interesting! I learned so much about how olive oil is made and how people worked on the farm and used tools way back in the 1800s. Our tour guide, Francesca, was so sweet and knew so much about the farm, as it was a part of her family! She showed us the whole farm, old machinery and farmhouses, plants, and the process of olive oil making! She even gave us freshly picked oranges which were the best I’ve ever had!! We also tasted countless flavors of olive oil that I never even knew existed! Some of the flavors consisted of truffle, bruschetta, and lemon, which were all delicious! We tasted the oil with fresh Italian Bread! At the end of our tour, we could place an order from their extremely wide selection of olive oils, pastas, and sauces which were delivered right to our door when we got home! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore some of Sorrento’s history and the behind the scenes of olive oil!

Don't miss it! Ask for Francesca. - I can't recommend this tour and Francesca enough.
I didn't know there were so many types of olive oils; my favourite ones were olive oil with orange and olive oil with lemon (they can be used for cakes btw).
I also got a face cream which is excellent and other products to be shipped at my home address (they ship pretty much everywhere).
Francesca picked me up from the hotel, did the tour for me and brought me back. She is such an amazing human being! Loved her positivity and happiness. She made the tour so enjoyable.
The tour made my day and I will keep ordering products from them from now on for a much better quality.
