Cheese

In Tuscany, the art of cheese making (because it is a real art!), has a long and ancient tradition.

Made with milk from local pastures, Tuscan cheeses are unique and special artisanal products.
There are so many: soft or seasoned, with a delicate or pungent taste, each one with unique and unmistakable characteristics.

There are so many cheeses in Tuscany, - like "ricotta", or "marzolino - but without a doubt, the "pecorino", is the best known and appreciated. It is produced with 100% sheep's milk and enriches the dishes of Tuscan cuisine since the time of the Etruscans.
