PECORINO CHEESE
I've learned so much since we came to Italy! I've discovered new foods, learned about wine, and so much more. I'd never even heard pf pecorino cheese, much less eaten it! Pecorino cheese is made from sheep's milk, mostly in Sardinia. Many Sardinian farmers came to Tuscany in the 1950's when times were tough, hoping to find work. Of course they brought their traditions with them, and now Tuscany and parts of Umbria are blessed with local sources of pecorino cheese. You can read more about pecorino cheese here, and you can also watch the video below, showing how it's made. This short film was made by arttrav, a site dedicated to helping you find art and history during your travels in Italy, especially in and around Florence.

Pecorino dolce is one of my favorite cheeses. I love it when I'm over in Italy. It costs about $19.00 a pound here, if you can find it.
When we're in the states it's not just that we have to pay more for things like wine and paremsan, even DeCecco pasta, but the fact that so many things we take for granted here aren't even available in the states.
