Join our expert guide for a special journey that will grow your love for cheese and open your heart to the beautiful world of artisanal dairy and organic food.
You will visit an organic cheese farm close to Volterra and taste the wonderful flavors of their fresh and aged cheeses. Here you will discover the story of a multi-generation family of cheese makers, the family of Giovanni. Their tradition started in Sardinia, and more than 50 years ago they brought their knowledge and passion to Tuscany.
Today, they are proud to be one of the most important organic farms in the Volterra area.
Your guide will take you inside the pasteurizing room and into the aging caves, where you learn how the famous organic pecorino is made. You will learn how simple milk becomes a delicious cheese, step by step, with care, patience, and love. After the visit, lunch is waiting for you in the old barn, now changed into a cozy rustic restaurant. You will enjoy different dishes prepared with their special cheeses, full of authentic taste and tradition. Before you leave, you will receive a small cheesy gift to enjoy later and remember this experience.
Please note that the visit follows the natural working rhythm of the farm. On some days you can see the fresh cheese production, and on other days you will see different moments like the aging of the cheese wheels. Every visit is unique, but always rich in flavor and discovery.
