A tour dedicated to the joys of cheese tasting in Piemonte
The introduction to the cheeses of Piemonte brings turophiles to the city of Bra, the cradle of the Slow Food Movement. Here cheese lovers have the opportunity to meet one of the most famous cheesemongers in the realm of Italian cheese for a guided tasting.
