A flock of sheep grazing in Tuscany, Italy
The Tuscany region in central Italy has been romanticized, and rightly so, for its rich history of art, music, literature, and cuisine. Another aspect of the Tuscan farming tradition is the important role sheep play. Aside from textile and meat production, ewe’s milk is the main ingredient in the region’s version of pecorino cheese, a highly regarded artisanal export. A visit to the countryside in Tuscany will probably net you sightings of local flocks.
