Do you know what this is? 🇮🇹🌿
It may look like a giant garlic… but this is Aglione della Valdichiana, one of Tuscany’s most traditional ingredients.
Its bulbs can become surprisingly large, but its real secret is its flavour: much more delicate, sweet and gentle than ordinary garlic.
In Tuscany, it is the soul of one of our traditional dishes: Pici all’Aglione.
And today, during our Cooking Class at Villa Le Torri, our guests will discover that Italian cuisine is not only about learning a recipe.
It is about understanding the ingredients, where they come from, and the traditions they carry with them.
Because behind even the simplest ingredient, there can be centuries of Tuscany. ❤️
And after seeing the size of this Aglione… I think our guests will remember this lesson! 😄🇮🇹
