Conheci o Gabriele e o seu workshop de pizzas atraves de um amigo Chef que me recomendou o seu trabalho. O workshop de pizzas correu lindamente. Ambiente descontraido mas com um nivel de detalhe incrivel, tanto teorico como pratico. Assim que cheguei a casa comecei logo a fazer pizzas e a minha familia e amigos adoram.

My project (ma.che.bello) was born from a dream and a lot of hard work... But it wouldn’t have been possible without Gabriele’s (Fermentaria) help. His relentless support, whether in person or via messages, along with his friendliness, humility, and professionalism, are beyond description. Just a huge thank you 🙏

I did a one day, one on one, Neapolitan style pizza course with Gabriele. The goal was for me to be able to make good, light and airy, authentic pizza for family and friends. Consistency with the dough, shaping and cooking was paramount for me. The course with Gabriele was brilliant. We started with the theory and then it was hands on from there. He led me through each stage of pizza making and concentrated on the areas where I was making huge mistakes. Gabriele is patient and explains things well. He focused the course on my goals and capabilities. The course was well worth it. My pizzas have improved 10 fold and I now have much more confidence in the pizza making process. At the end of the course Gabriele provided detailed notes for future reference and has followed up to see how my pizza making was progressing.

As a self-taught pizza maker, I had been making pizzas for a long time, but this course took my knowledge to a whole new level. Gabriele was amazing; he shared advanced techniques, a depth of information that revolutionized my approach, and left no secrets uncovered.
