Take a drive up in the hills above Maiori to Tramonti to taste the delicious cheeses. Located in the Park of the Lattari Mountains, it is a short distance but a world away from the coast and the crowds. Up here you'll find olives, lemon groves, sheep grazing and chestnut woods.

In this bucolic setting, the Antica Latteria still makes traditional cheese the old fashioned way, but in a modern facility. Latte means milk, so "latteria" is where they produce and "work" the milk. They make mozzarella in several forms, provola (both fresh and smoked), scamorza, caciota (including a nice aged version), fresh ricotta, and fresh cheese blended with herbs and spices.

It's a nice drive up into the regional park to stop by and pick up some locally made cheese! Visit their website for directions and details.
