Food is a timeless and essential ingredient that goes hand in hand with travel and celebration. A Gastronomic travel experience in Tuscany is something very unique. Add a day harvesting the grapes or olives with Italian fellow pickers or picking up chestnuts in a Tuscan forest, cooking a special Christmas dish with an Italian chef, and turn your holiday in a lifetime experience.
Tuscany boasts numerous quality food products that testify the goodness and the excellence of the territory in which they are produced. Fruit of man’s labour and of his profound bond with the land, many typical products of this land have reached levels of excellency. Imagination, creativity and passion are the added value that have allowed many products to be known outside the regional and even national borders.
Among the products is the olive oil, the pecorino cheese, truffles, chestnuts, bread, salami, cold cuts, chocolate in the famous Chocolate Valley... and the many wines from the DOC and DOCG areas.
The love of the Tuscan people for good food is universally known. The Tuscan cuisine is, first of all, a rustic one, simple, made of genuine flavours that have incredibly remained unaltered. The typical elements of the local tradition dominate: unsalted bread, many soups as Ribollita, pappa al pomodoro (tomato soup), black crostini, the panzanella. All is accompanied by an excellent, dense and perfumed olive oil. Delicious meat dishes and especially barbequed steaks, sausages, etc are served combined with excellent local red, white and rosé wines known beyond the regional borders.
