Pienza

Perched on top of a beautiful hill in the heart of Tuscany and surrounded by the scenic landscape op the Val d’Orcia you can find the small town of Pienza. And this is where we are heading on this sunny afternoon in March.

Pienza is also the city of cacio, which means cheese! The Pecorino of Pienza is a tasty cheese made from sheep's milk, renowned worldwide and delicious, which can go from a delicate flavor to a decisive one based on how aged it is. The town streets are full of small charming shops selling a large quantity of various types of pecorino, from fresh to aged pecorico, that you can taste together with a number of other typical local products, such as fine wines, spices, pici (handmade pasta) and so on.
