ciaccia

Details
Meet Daniela at a café in Sarteano's main square and follow her in your car to the family's olive oil producing Tuscan farm, 500 yards away.
Mamma Adina welcomes you into her
taverna
— a traditional Tuscan cottage complete with a bread oven and fireplace designed for cooking, serving and enjoying large family dinners.
Participants learn how to make dough for
ciaccia
(Tuscan
focaccia
) and how to bake using a wood-fired bread oven. This hearty bread is served with salami and prosciutto.
Next, roll out fresh Tuscan
pici
pasta by hand. Prepare and jar Mamma's
aqiglione
tomato sauce. Grill
bruschetta
using Mamma's own extra virgin olive oil.
Join Mamma and Daniela at the table to enjoy the classic Tuscan meal your class has created and finish off the afternoon with a velvety
tiramisu
dessert.
Take home a complimentary jar of sauce and if you wish, purchase some of Mamma's own extra virgin olive oil.
PS. We designed this Actividayz after tasting Mamma's
ciaccia
. When asked if she would be interested in doing a class? Her answer: "
Yes. Southern Tuscany clings dearly to its ancient traditions, and in my own tiny way, I'd love for visitors to get to know us first hand.
" Mamma Adina's daughter, Daniela is also the proud owner of
Villa Tramonto, one of Parker Villa's premier homes
. Have fun!
