and indeed become more evident on the<br />

palate, after you’ve eaten a particular dish.<br />

“From every 25 litres of goat’s milk, I get<br />

about 2.5 kilos of goat’s cheese,” said mine<br />

host Luca. “Depending on what you want,<br />

from this I make some cheeses that are<br />

best to eat straight away. Cheeses that will<br />

last for only three or four days. Then there<br />

are some that you should keep for longer,<br />

that age very well.”<br />

Luca tries a variety of mixtures from cow’s<br />

milk constituting 80 percent and goat’s milk<br />

20 percent of a sample, to a goat’s milk at<br />

80 percent and cow’s milk just 20 percent<br />

and another with an even mix of 50 percent<br />

cow’s and goat’s milk. Each will produce a<br />

slightly different texture and taste.<br />

One of the best ways to get a handle on the<br />

wide variety and textures of goat’s cheeses<br />

available in Toscana is to order a cheese<br />

platter, with maybe a glass or two of the<br />

house red wine. One of the more intriguing<br />

and certainly incredibly tasty examples on<br />

the platter is the cheese-in-camicia, also<br />

called cheese-in-a-shirt. Basically, it is an<br />

aged cheese surrounded with a crust of<br />

pepper. The pepper is cut off, but the resultant<br />

cheese has a flavour that is as distinct<br />

as all the other cheeses produced by Luca<br />

and his team.<br />

All the cheese is made in very much the<br />

same way Luca was taught as a youngster<br />

growing up in the Tuscany region of Italy.<br />
