This is hand-made cheese...

In the tiny north Tuscan village of Vitiana, Marzia makes cheese.

Our local food guide Heather from Sapori e Saperi took us to see how she does it.

Nati Suonati (Born Playing) bring the crowd to its feet.

‘Do you know about food, Richard?’ asks the lady across the table from me.

‘Oh yes,’ I reply confidently, ‘I’ve been eating it for years, several times a day.’

But there’s a huge difference between eating food, liking food and knowing food the way Marzia the cheesemaker, Paolo the miller and baker, Andrea the restauranteur and our guide Heather do.
