Pecorino Toscano. Italy

Description

In the Piedmont town of Bra, the Slow Food movement holds a cheese festival every other year. In this episode host Will Studd joins the more than one-hundred thousand attendees in examining the many international varieties on display, and learning about the movement's growing popularity. Next he's off to the Il Forteto dairy in Tuscany. Formed by a group of social reformers in the 1970s, this cooperative has rapidly grown to become one of Italy's largest producers of Pecorino Toscano, a benchmark cheese made from sheep's milk.
