A lesson in Tuscan focaccia: explore secrets and flavours
Cooking class and tasting to discover traditional Florentine dishes
The miracle of the Tuscan earth, shaped by your own hands. From Florence, you can reach a farm nestled in the hills of the most unspoilt nature by car. There, you can enjoy an experience that starts with wheat ears and ends with a finished focaccia, a traditional Florentine dish. Discover all the secrets of processing wheat and grinding it into the purest flour. Knead and continue with the rising to see the oven-ready dish grow before your eyes. A few minutes of cooking, and it's time for tasting. A delicacy to be accompanied by oil, cured meats, cheese, and jams, all rigorously produced in the farmland of this region. A sensory journey to be repeated at home thanks to a packet of organic flour milled from the wheat from the same farm, to continue experiencing the emotions of authentic flavours.
