BIO TUSCAN FOOD:
GRAB THE UNIQUE CHANCE TO VISIT A TYPICAL DAIRY FARM CLOSE TO OUR FARMHOUSE, WHICH PRODUCES AND SELLS CHEESE, RICOTTA AND SHEEP’S CHEESE. “Pecorino” is the most typical traditional Tuscan cheese. Seasoned ‘pecorino’ (sheep’s cheese) is about 2.5 kg; it has a pale yellow texture and small holes. It is seasoned for at least 120 days, and has a strong and slightly spicy flavour. Fresh pecorino is about 1 kg, and has a compact white texture. Seasoning lasts for at least 20 days, though the cheese is usually eaten after 30-45 days. Ricotta is a dairy product produced by heating the whey left from cheese processing and adding pasteurised milk, whose specific origin – whether sheep, cow or both – gives pecorino its specific name (sheep’s ricotta, cow’s ricotta, mixed ricotta). The cheese, made with whey, pasteurised milk and salt, is sold immediately once it is produced. Ricotta has a soft and cream-like texture, and a sweet flavour.
