On any afternoon, the sound of sheep’s bells tinkling in the countryside conjures thoughts of water from a mythic fountain, and white flocks adorn the green hillsides as they graze slowly across the land. Just south of the village is the farm of Giovanni and Giovanna Porcu, who have graciously invited the guests of Il Campo Cooking School of Radicondoli to come for a morning of cheese making lessons, where we will learn all the phases of cheese production from fresh curds to the pressing of the cheese into wooden forms.
