Our excursion starts from the shores of Lake Como, between Malgrate and Bellano, and reaches Pasturo with a comfortable shared bus transfer.
On this excursion, you'll have the opportunity to discover the production and creation of these cheeses by visiting the dairy with a guided tour in Italian or English. You'll learn how a single raw material, milk, can be transformed into various types of cheese, from the sweetest to the most flavorful. At the end of the guided tour, the experience continues, moving from theory to practice! A rich cheese tasting awaits you in the dairy restaurant.
