The Cheese Bar in the Forest

Step into a unique gastronomic journey at our cheese bar in the Mercadante Forest, nestled in the heart of the Murgia Park. Born from the idea of rediscovering authenticity and simplicity, this intimate wooden kiosk offers a rare chance to experience life and food in harmony with nature.

Guided by Vito and Roberta, you’ll embark on a tasting adventure of cheeses, from fresh to aged and even blue varieties, paired with local wines and traditional Apulian specialties. There is no menu here—only a curated selection of flavors that reflect our land, our story, and our passion.

Set against the backdrop of 1,300 hectares of wilderness, this experience offers more than food: it’s a retreat into the rhythms of nature, a place where children can run free, and where every bite is accompanied by the sounds of the forest.

An unforgettable culinary escape that combines tradition, family, and nature in one of Apulia’s most enchanting landscapes.

*1 May to 30 June lunch, from 1 July to 31 August dinner and from 1 September to 31 October lunch

Puglia Cheese & Lunch Experience
It was excellent! Marina Villela

I had the Caseificio Dicecca tasting experience, and it was excellent. We had several dishes with different types of cheese and wonderful combinations. They were all very good! The service was excellent, very attentive and caring! Everyone comes up to you and wants to know more about you, where you live, what you're doing in the region! It was excellent!

Unforgettable experience. Melanie Dupuis

I visited a dairy farm in Puglia a few months ago and it was an unforgettable experience. I was greeted with upmost hospitality and kindness. I would highly recommend visiting this gem of a place nestled in the forest, the cheese is truly the star !!!

Puglia Cheese & Lunch Experience
The best caseificio! mali bortucene

The best caseificio! Amazing cheese. Mozzarella, ricotta, and many other. They make all the cheese at the lab behind the shop.
