Earlier this month, The Food Hunter from the Food Hunter’s Guide to Cuisine was on vacation here on the Amalfi Coast. The home base for their stay was the town of Praiano, just east of Positano. Praiano is a great choice for visiting the Amalfi Coast if you’re looking for a small hotel or apartment to rent, because it is small town that is relatively free of the tourist feel of the more popular destinations. I love it when fellow bloggers visit this area, because I get to see and hear about their vacations on the Amalfi Coast. In the case of the Food Hunter, it was an especially tasty treat, as they shared about their shopping and cooking adventures during their stay. Head on over to the Food Hunter’s Guide to Cuisine to read about Cooking in Praiano Highlights and their daily walks to the market at Cooking and Climbing in Praiano. I love the videos!

While you’re there, don’t miss the post on their Sorrento Cheese Factory Tour about visiting Caseificio Michelangelo. I know where I want to visit now to learn more about the process of making the cheeses the Campania regions is so famous for, including mozzarella, provolone, ricotta and more. Many thanks to the Food Hunter for sharing memories and stories from your vacation on the Amalfi Coast. Come back again soon!
Chef Chuck says
Sounds like a nice vacation, Food Hunter! The chesses look delish!

Sign me up for a visit to "Caseificio Michelangelo!"
Laura says
Ciao Chuck! I agree … that tray of cheese looked very tempting! 🙂
Ciao Scintilla! Now we have two thumbs up for Michelangelo, which means I'm going to have to track some down to try out. Down my way we get a lot of great cheese from Agerola and Tramonti. There's a place in Scala that makes amazing mozzarella and provola, too. Yum… I'm getting hungry now!
Ciao Lola! Don't go if you happen to be craving divine Campania mozzarella. It will just make it worse! 🙂 Can you get good mozzarella in Roma?
Ciao Food Hunter! Yes, I'm sorry we missed meeting up, too. Come back again soon! 🙂
Ciao Marybeth! Glad to help out. 🙂 Have a wonderful vacation in Praiano!
Ciao Peter! Are you thinking what I'm thinking about Caseificio Michelangelo?
