The South
South of Rome, Italy’s climate and geography start to become more uniform. The soil here is infertile, and the climate harsh, very different from the rich alluvial soils associated the north which are nowhere to be seen. The only animals that can exist on this unwelcoming terrain are goats and sheep. Goat’s milk cheeses are made but destined for local consumption only, however the ewe’s milk cheeses from the south are more widely appreciated.
