Under the Tuscan Sky
We start off our tour of Tuscany with a visit to Villa Campestri in the Mugello area. Paolo Pasquali manufactures Olio Extravergine di Oliva Toscano IGP here, the site of one of Italy's first olive oil makers.
Learn how to cook marrone, a type of chestnut that makes a
somewhat softer and more flavorful paste than normal chestnuts.
Next, journey with Paolo to Palazzuolo sul Senio to see jousting
by two masters of medieval battle arts.
In Scarperia, near Florence, we get to visit Palazzo del Vicari, a
museum of cutting instruments.
Vicchio nel Mugello is home to a cooperative cheesemaking plant,
one of the biggest producers of DOP-certified cheeses in Tuscany.
In Ponte a Moriano, we visit Ristorante La Mora, one of the most
famous restaurants in all of Lucca.
Villa Vignamaggio is another olive oil manufacturer in the heart
of the Chianti region.
Next we visit a manufacturer of salami, prosciutto, and other meats,
made from a special breed of Tuscan pig that has been developed
over hundreds of years. In fact, this prosciutto manufacturer has
been around since 1712!
Sheep's milk cheese, or pecorino, is manufactured in here, right
where the sheep are raised.
