Day 2 - Fossa cheeseSunday 8 May 2022 |

Fossa cheese is a must when you come to Romagna. The variety that is especially appreciated is the one produced by Mulino della Porta di Sotto in Mondaino, the place we will visit on our sampling tour on the second day. If you are wondering where the name of this cheese derives from, during this visit you will find out about the origins of the product and its centuries old tradition. A little spoiler? It’s a cheese made with sheep’s’ milk with a low fat content, and it is highly digestible and ideal for a tasty break from all that pedalling! |
