Experience Tuscan cuisine

Authentic flavours, ancient traditions and genuine ingredients. Among the specialities that you simply must try: ribollita, a peasant dish that combines vegetables, legumes and stale bread; pappardelle with wild boar, with an intense taste; the Florentine T-bone steak, symbol of Tuscan meat; local cheeses and cold cuts, such as pecorino and finocchiona, accompanied by a DOC or DOCG wine. All seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, which completes every dish, enhancing its flavours.

For a truly immersive experience, why not take a cooking class, guided tastings, visits to mills and farms, or workshops to prepare traditional pasta and desserts. A unique way to savour and learn, transform a meal into a sensory and cultural journey, and take home not only flavours, but also preparation techniques.

Ask Toma: he is a passionate lover of local cuisine, a chef in his spare time and a lover of good wine. He will invite you to a tasting of our wines and our oil, he will organise the cooking class for you and will show you his favourite restaurants.
