Ewe's milk

Tuscany, Umbria and the Marches
Anywhere else, if a region were to have Emilia-Romagna as a neighbour, it would shy away at the first suggestion of making cheese. Not so in Tuscany, Umbria and The Marches. Here farmers are spurred on, not to emulate Parmigiano-Reggiano, but instead to create their own cheese that reflects their passion and the natural raw materials available to them.
