Top Puglia Candy Making Classes

What is the Mokambo Experience all about? We will make gelato together starting from scratch. In particular.. We will open the doors of our laboratory and we will show you what it means to prepare genuine artisan ice cream faithfully following a recipe from 1840. We'll provide you with aprons, spatulas and spoons and then we'll get to work! The ingredients you will use will be: Local pasture milk from the Alta Murgia Park, eggs from free-range hens, simple cooking sugar, plus the "secret" ingredient that we will select for you! During this experience you will discover how it is possible to create something good and genuine, using a few simple local ingredients and you will understand why (unlike what is believed) it is really difficult to find artisanal ice cream in Italy with a very short list of ingredients.

Taranto’s coastal scenery and crystal-clear water are best admired from the sea—but for that, you need a boat.
