Local Dairy Farm & Cheese Tasting
This is an authentic and off-the-beaten-path adventure, featuring a small cheese producer in the lush countryside outside Ragusa, distinguished for its fertile land and superb local cuisine. Here, Modica cows graze freely in the Hyblaean mountain countryside every morning and produce abundant high-quality milk that the farm uses to produce fresh and wholesome local cheeses: provola, caciocavallo, tuma and ricotta. The farmers' methods are ancient and traditional, and their rhythms are slow. Throughout your visit, you will follow the entire journey of the milk, starting from the stables and concluding at the creamery where the cheese is crafted. You'll observe various stages of production, from the curdling of the milk to the formation of the cheese, including the stretching and shaping of fresh provola and DOP Ragusano cheese, as well as the preparation of ricotta.
