Your mozzarella making experience in Pisa begins just a few steps from Piazza Garibaldi, the true heart of the city. Your DiscoveryPisa escort will take you through the narrow streets to a small artisanal dairy, where the warm smell of milk welcomes you.
Here you’ll meet your mastro casaro — a passionate local craftsman whose family has been producing cheese in Tuscany for generations. His humor, stories, and skill make this encounter not just a class but an authentic Italian food experience.
Before you start your hands-on work, your cheesemaker will explain each step of the process: how to choose the right milk, when to heat, how to stretch, and the perfect moment when curds become cheese. You’ll see, smell, and touch the transformation — the essence of this authentic mozzarella class in Pisa.
Roll up your sleeves and dive into the most fun part of the experience. Guided by your artisan, you’ll learn to shape and twist mozzarella by hand using centuries-old Tuscan techniques. Each participant creates their own cheese, which you’ll proudly take home — soft, fresh, and made entirely by you.
After your mozzarella making class, relax and enjoy a cheese tasting in Pisa. Savor three of the dairy’s signature cheeses, each paired with a glass of local wine. Learn how the flavors change with age and discover the simple magic of artisan cheese, made and shared with passion.
This Pisa cooking experience combines authentic flavors with artisan skill — a delicious memory to take home.

“The tour was well organised and provided everything promised. The meeting location was easy to find and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend. The guide was knowledgeable and personal”
“Thanks to DiscoveryPisa for accommodating my schedule and working around my other tour for the day. I had a wonderful 2 hour tour of the Piazza del Duomo in Pisa with Andrea. We began with the Baptistry. The acoustics were amazing. I was able to climb the stairs to the upper level. The next stop was the cathedral and then finally the cemetery. I was assured that much work had been done on the leaning tower to balance it and prevent it from falling in the past decades. As mentioned before, Andrea was incredibly knowledgeable, noting all of the important period styles included at different stages of construction.”
“We had a great guided tour. The meeting spot was accurately described and our tour guide was easy to find. Anastasia was great!! She had a lot of interesting facts and stories which really added to the experience. The tour was timely and we had time to take some photos prior to entering the leaning tower. I would recommend this tour as an interesting and great way to see the main sites of Miracle Square in Pisa!”
“Fabulous tour of Pisa and all of its treasures with a great informative and enthusiastic guide. Ticket included all entries to mayor attractions but the trip to the top of the Pisa of tower was the highlight.”
