Paestum & Mozzarella experience
Paestum is an ancient city of Italy, located in the Campania Region, on the Gulf of Salerno, south- east of the modern city of Salerno. Standing
deserted and roofless in fields of wild flowers, the ruins of Paestum evoke nostalgia for the great Greek city that once flourished here. Paestum is
known today for the fine ruins of three large Doric temples: the temple of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea; the Basilica; and the temple of Ceres, the
Roman goddess of agriculture. The temple of Poseidon is one of the most perfectly preserved of ancient Greek temples. Founded by Greek colonists
from Sybaris between 650 and 600 BC, the city was originally called Poseidonia. It was subdued by the Romans, who established a colony there
about 273 BC. During the 1st century BC, Paestum was famous for its roses, mentioned by several Roman poets, including Virgil. The town was
sacked by the Saracens in the 9th century AD and finally abandoned in the 16th century.
Be amazed to live one of the most typical experience of our land, the possibility to visit a real buffalo farm and the processing of how the mozzarella
is made! Legend has it that mozzarella was first made when cheese curds accidently fell into a pail of hot water in a cheese factory near Naples... and
soon thereafter the first pizza was made! Actually, new cheeses are often formulated when mistakes happen, so there well may be truth in the tale!
Mozzarella was first made in Italy near Naples from the rich milk of water buffalos. Because it was not made from pasteurized milk and because
there was little or no refrigeration the cheese had a very short shelf-life and seldom left the southern region of Italy near Naples where it was made.
As cheese technology, refrigeration and transportation systems developed the cheese spread to other regions of Italy. However, to this day it is widely
known that the best and most highly prized artisanal produced buffalo mozzarella is still found south of Naples, where small factories continue
centuries-old traditions making buffalo mozzarella fresh daily for their local customers, who line up at the factories to buy this delicacy.At the end of
the tour you will delighted with a taste of products as the Mozzarella, Ciliegine (Mozzarella Pearls), Yoghurt and Ricotta Cheese
