Discover the many gastronomic excellences of Tuscany

 
 
 

Chianti Classico DOP extra virgin olive oil: A typical product and perhaps one of the oldest. Its color, from the most intense green to golden shades, with its fruity smell and spicy flavor have always made it special and is well suited to flavor the dishes of typical Tuscan cuisine.

 

Vin Santo: a true symbol of Tuscany, which pairs with cantucci at the end of a meal, whether it is a particular lunch or dinner or just an excuse to pamper yourself a little.

Pappa al pomodoro: a dish of Chianti cuisine as simple as it is tasty: the base is stale bread, seasoned with peeled tomatoes; garlic, basil and extra virgin olive oil finally add more aromaticity to the dish.

Ribollita: like pappa al pomodoro, ribollita is a dish based on bread, but this time mixed with savoy cabbage, black cabbage, beans and other seasonal vegetables.

Panzanella: made from stale bread, in this recipe the bread is crumbled and seasoned with red onion, tomato, cucumber and basil seasoned with oil, vinegar and salt.

The Chianina steak: it is the queen of this area for meat (or rather, the ciccia), and has a very low caloric intake and really low amounts of cholesterol. On the other hand, it has a large amount of iron and flavor.

Pecorino Toscano: Characterizes the dairy tradition of Tuscany and the area of origin. Is characterized by its sweet taste, never savory or spicy, a peculiarity that is due both to the method of processing with calf rennet or vegetable rennet and to the duration of salting, much shorter than other pecorino cheese.
