The word for sheep in Italian is "pecora" - hence the name of one of Italy's most popular dairy products. Since 1986 it is now protected with a DOP certification (Protected Destination of Origin). Pecorino Toscano is sturdy and nutty with a hint of salt and underlying savory and sweet flavors that intensify with age just the same as local wine - the more it matures the better it gets! On our Tuscany food tour you will now stop at an organic dairy farm for a visit and cheese tasting. Meet the animals: goats, sheep and pigs. Take a stroll in the farm's garden and vineyard. Learn all about Pecorino making and enjoy cheese tasting accompanied by honey and wine, before taking a panoramic drive through Tuscany to return to your departure point.
