From Week of Italian Cuisine in Vietnam:
In Italian cuisine, Pecorino Toscano – the sheep’s milk cheese from Tuscany – holds a special place in classic and modern dishes. With its delicate balance of salty-sweet flavors and rich notes of nuts, caramel, butter, and herbs, Pecorino Toscano has become a history and cultural icon of Tuscany, celebrated for its unique taste and traditional production process.
Originating centuries ago from the milk of sheep grazing on the sunny hills of Tuscany, Pecorino Toscano is a testament to the Italian dedication to handcrafted cheese-making. Until today, skilled artisans in Tuscany continue to make this cheese using traditional methods, following strict standards to maintain its DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status.
Preserving traditional handicrafts while adapting to the demands of the modern market is a challenge in many industries. That’s why the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM), with the support of the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam, manages to organize a special seminar on authentic Italian food. The workshop will feature dairy products from the “Pecorino Toscano” cheese Consortium and offer valuable insights into sustaining traditional crafts in today’s world.
