Cheese Making Demonstration with Lunch
Unveiling the Art of Pecorino di Pienza: A Hands-On Cheese Crafting Experience with Ulisse at Podere il Casale

Cheese Making Demonstration with Lunch

This experience is the dream of every cheese lover who has always wanted to know how cheese is made. 

Step into the world of traditional cheesemaking and discover how a classic Pecorino di Pienza is made. Pienza is a town in Tuscany, and Pecorino is a cheese traditionally made from sheep’s milk.

Learn alongside the cheesemaker, who will guide you through the whole process, from the stable to fermentation and aging. Then watch a demonstration of a primo sale made on the spot, and ask the cheesemaker whatever questions come to mind as you discover this ancient art.

Then it’s time to sit down to a 3-course lunch. Begin with a starter and a platter of raw milk cheeses from Podere il Casale, followed by a first course and dessert, served with water, wine produced at Podere il Casale, and coffee.

From the stable to the table, this is a chance to see a time-honoured craft up close and taste the cheeses of Podere il Casale.
