点评:Thank you, Vito, for a wonderful day we will never forget!
This is not your average, run of the mill, tour/food travel experience. We opted for the full tour and lunch experience and it was worth every penny. Vito was so gracious and went out of his way to make us feel welcome and special. He introduced us to his friends on the street, who were also a pleasure. The tour of his cheesemaking operation was fascinating. And of course, his cheeses were incredible—all of them. He shared stories of his family and how they came to run the family business. He even told us about how many of the cheeses were made and what was special about their versions.
Incredible cheeses we tasted just to name a few: Vito’s unique blue cheese with cherries and wine, “Mars” cheese—red pepper, aged provolone, “gold” cheese, blue cheese stracciatella, truffle stracciatella, home made sheep’s (or goat) milk Greek yogurt with honey, and so on…
We found talking with Vito a truly enjoyable experience. He was kind and informative about his city and craft. He shared interesting food knowledge with us—and if you are taking this tour, you are likely a foodie and will be fascinated.
Though his cheese bar was closed for renovation, and the weather was inclement, we instead enjoyed a tour of Altamura, a visit and tasting at an ancient artisan focaccia bakery, then a delicious lunch at the best restaurant in town. The food and drink were fantastic as he told us about the dishes and roles they play in the community.
Best of luck to Vito and his family. Thank you again!

这可不是一般的旅行/美食之旅。我们选择了全套行程和午餐,物超所值。Vito 非常热情好客,不辞辛劳地让我们感到宾至如归。他把我们介绍给了他在街上的朋友,他们也非常友好。参观他的奶酪制作坊非常令人着迷。当然,他制作的奶酪也非常棒——每一种都令人惊艳。他分享了他的家族故事,以及他们如何开始经营家族生意。他甚至还告诉我们奶酪的种类和每个版本的特色。
我们品尝的奶酪种类繁多,令人赞叹,仅举几例:Vito独特的樱桃红酒蓝纹奶酪、“Mars”红椒奶酪、陈年波萝伏洛干酪、“Gold”奶酪、蓝纹奶酪斯特拉恰特拉奶酪、松露斯特拉恰特拉奶酪、自制羊奶(或山羊奶)希腊蜂蜜酸奶等等……
与Vito的交谈是一次非常愉快的经历。他热情友好,对我们所在的城市和手艺了如指掌。他与我们分享了有趣的美食知识——如果您参加这次旅行,您很可能是一位美食家,一定会对此着迷。
虽然他的奶酪吧因装修而关闭,而且天气恶劣,但我们还是享受了阿尔塔穆拉之旅,参观并品尝了一家古老的手工佛卡夏面包店,然后在镇上最好的餐厅享用了美味的午餐。食物和饮品都非常棒,Vito还向我们介绍了这些菜肴以及它们在社区中扮演的角色。
祝Vito和他的家人一切顺利。再次感谢!
