A store of taste and knowledge that was born from Annacarla Tredici and Andrea Giuliano’s passion for cheese, wine and gastronomy, with the aim of promoting agri-food excellence, particularly that of Cilento.

Gustophia – Dispensa Popolare is a treasure chest of taste in the Cilento region, an innovative gastronomic project conceived by the Prince Mazzacane estate. Strategically located for visiting tourist locations and archaeological sites. In addition to being a store, Gustophia represents a meeting point offering an immersive sensory experience dedicated to the enhancement of authentic local flavors and the excellence of Italian products.

A Successful Project

The origin of this project is rooted in deep reflection: what is taste? Is it an innate pleasure or a knowledge that is acquired over time? Through the analysis of various thinkers of ancient philosophy, Gustophia aims to spread “taste” in a larder that pays homage to the work of popular figures such as farmers, cheesemakers, winemakers and bakers.

A store of taste and knowledge that was born from the passion of Annacarla Tredici and Andrea Giuliano for cheese, wine and gastronomi. The goal is to promote agribusiness excellence, particularly that of the area of origin.

Annacarla, a journalist from Naples and Cilento, for love of her partner Andrea moved to Omignano, where she indulges her passion as a producer and entrepreneur. I cheeses have a crucial role since his great-grandfather had goats, raised in Naples and grazing on Mount Vesuvius. One of the last breeders of the Neapolitan goat.

A fate that set the course for Prince Mazzacane Estate. N ata in 2019 and which in just a few years has established itself as a benchmark for goat cheese lovers. This is all thanks to the quality of its products and its ability to innovate, as demonstrated by the Vis Goat, produced in collaboration with the Gian Battista Vico Institute of High Culture and Gal Cilento. And which can be found in the counter of Gustophia – Dispensa Popolare: a treasure chest of taste in Cilento.

Goat cheeses, by Annacarla Tredici and Andrea Giuliano, made from the milk of their native breed of goats, such as Nera, Grigia and Fulva, which graze in a semi-wild state, are the real stars. From spreadable cream to robiola, primosale and the innovative “Montestella (Cilento’s first charcoal blue cheese), to yogurt. Each cheese tells a personal story made up of choices and a deep connection with the territory.
