  5. THE ART OF PECORINO CHEESE

The art of Pecorino cheese

Discover all the secrets of cheese production, visit the farm, and indulge in a tasting of local products

 

Lapo and Ilaria teach the traditional method of production and aging of Pecorino. Typically, Tuscan cheese is produced from sheep milk. We don’t pasteurize our milk and therefore, this cheese is a raw milk cheese. It is a unique and different experience.
