Further information
Siena’s and Tuscany’s gastronomic traditions are also widely celebrated. Yet, with so many delicious options, it can sometimes be difficult to decide what to try. That’s why we created a Siena food tour that offers an overview of the city’s most authentic specialties, from carefully selected cured meats and local cheeses to traditional hand-rolled pastas and other time-honored Tuscan dishes.
POSSIBLE TASTINGS:
- Charcuterie and cheese board - Taste the best charcuterie and cheeses from the area accompanied by a good glass of local wine
- Pici cacio e pepe or wine - Pici senesi are made in a way that respects ancient processes, such as bronze wire-drawing. You can taste them seasoned with cacio e pepe or with wine
- Pappa senese - of peasant origin, the recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. With a small detail that differentiates it from the traditional Tuscan pappa al pomodoro
- Ribollita - the typical soup made of bread and vegetables, delicious!
- Tonno del chianti - an ancient Tuscan recipe made with pork, purged for days in coarse salt and then cooked 5 hours in white wine and herbs
- Ricciarelli - Marzipan biscuits in the shape of a grain of rice with a crunchy, wrinkled and cracked surface coated in sugar and a grainy interior that is soft to the bite... delicious!
