Ageing pecorino cheese

An original idea while staying in Tuscany is visiting a local farm specialized in the production of fully organic cheese, from fresh ricotta to ripened pecorino. The farm is located near the Etruscan town Volterra, on the top of a hill, surrounded by a unique landscape. An English speaking personal tour leader (on request also German, Spanish, French, Italian or Russian) will take you directly in the workroom during the production. You will visit the barn where the sheep and the pigs have lodging. In the end you will enjoy a genuine light lunch by tasting different kinds of cheese together with local hams, different kinds of salami, home-made honey and wine.

Rates include the visit to the estates, cheese and salami tasting and a personal English speaking tour leader (also German, Spanish, French, Italian or Russian available). Rates do not include transportation.
