Cheese maker Romano Magi is passionate about his craft and has been teaching cheese making in his popular restaurant for years. Romano peppers his lessons with background about cheese making in Tuscany – including details on the Etruscan age when cheese was made in the fields after milking and pressed into fresh herbs. His interactive class will involve making Classic Pecorino, Ricotta and Raviggiolo as well as other fresh cheeses incorporating Mediterranean herbs and cheese with spices. He will demonstrate Abbinamenti – combining cheese tasting with various jams and wines, Aperitivi al Formaggio Dolci e Salati – creating salty and sweet cheese canapes and Dessert Al Formaggio – a cheese dessert.
The demonstration includes lunch – provided by Agostina, Romano’s wife, and the chef of La Bucaccia.
€25.00 includes lunch – limited to 15 people.
