No Whey!

Rather than staying at a hostel, visitors have the option of spending a few nights at an agriturismo. Similar to a B&B, you get the experience of the Tuscan countryside with all the amenities of staying in a hotel. Most places include meals cooked with local produce. I would say it looks a little better than a hotel too:

We visited an agriturismo that makes and sells sheep milk cheese. Those little suckers are pretty effing cute.

Milked twice a day, there is a lot of cheese to be made. Depending on the aging process the flavors can be drastically different. We tasted three cheeses, each aged longer than the next. To me the older cheeses are nuttier and firmer. The younger, softer cheeses have a gamey aroma that I am not a fan of.  We also sampled fresh ricotta that tasted like light, pillowy clouds.
