We understand that our guests enjoy something authentic and unique, direct from the heart of Italy. Something truly Italian that will give you a personal experience that you will fondly remember. Offering olive and winery tours, Italian cooking classes, 4 and 5 Day Italian culinary holidays to small groups means we can give you a more attention and you can relax and enjoy the whole experience. We also offer Private tours and classes that we can tailor to your needs. All of our activities are held in our family home, in the Sabine Hills, overlooking miles of uninterrupted views over olive groves, medieval hilltop villages and monasteries. It's breathtaking.

Italian Hot Chocolate - Chef Guido's family recipe for 'cioccolato caldo'

Chef Guido wants to share with you, his special family recipe for Italian Hot Chocolate. The type of hot chocolate drink is sooooo thick you can stand your spoon up in it! Enjoy!



Italian Hot Chocolate: Ingredients (serves 6):
Half a litre (1.05 pt or 2 cups) of milk, 80 g (2.8 oz) of granulated white sugar, 20g (0.7 oz) of maize flour, 1 bar of dark chocolate (100g or 3.5 oz), 30g of cocoa powder.
Method: Put cocoa powder and maize flour into a pot and mix well. Start pouring the milk a little at a time to make a paste first, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add all the milk and place the pot on medium heat, stirring from time to time. When the mixture begins to boil, break the chocolate into pieces and melt into the mixture. Stir in the sugar. Once all the ingredients are perfectly mixed, the hot chocolate is ready to be served. 

Buon appetito!
