Description:
The Tuada is a sheep's milk cheese from the Alta Garfagnana region in Lucca, meticulously crafted in the area of Pieve Fosciana. It embodies the essence of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, with its rugged slopes, confined spaces, and low temperatures, where the sheep play a crucial role as a necessity and a virtue for the shepherds. Upon savoring the Tuada, the robust flavor of the sheep is immediately discernible. The experience then unfolds, gracefully enveloping the palate with an array of flavors at its disposal: the nutty nuances, woody undertones, crushed herbs, and, finally, the subtle hint of spiciness.
