The Talea Cheese Academy was born in the heart of the Vallo di Diano, in Atena Lucana, Salerno: a dairy training school that blends tradition and innovation.
Our academy offers a wide range of professional courses designed to guide participants through every phase of cheese production, from milk to the finished product. For enthusiasts, we also offer amateur courses focused on small-scale cheese production, tailored for families, tourists, children, and seniors, providing a unique and engaging experience. In addition to courses, we organize tasting events in collaboration with associations and entities in the gastronomic sector, focusing on dairy products and other regional excellences. These events are the perfect opportunity to discover authentic flavors and learn about local culinary traditions. Talea Cheese Academy aims to become a landmark in the dairy sector, supporting local businesses with training classes and new product launch projects. We are also open to partnerships with entities from neighboring areas to promote growth and innovation in the world of cheese.
PROFESSIONAL COURSES
All courses focus on both theoretical and practical components and are aimed at industry companies, operators, and students. They vary based on the type of product and the level of specialization of the training activity (amateur, intermediate, professional, etc.).
AMATEUR COURSES
Activities aimed at anyone interested in exploring the world of cheese and typical local agri-food products. Experiences are customized for families, tourists, children, and seniors. During the events, participants can take part in mini cheese-making sessions, using local milk or, upon request, plant-based alternatives.
