You will also learn about our DOP bread and the use of ancient grains in traditional baking before tasting local bread with seasonal toppings like tomato and artichoke. We will then take a stroll along the Via dei Tornabuoni to arrive at a farm-to-table delicatessen. Meet owner Alessandro who will welcome you to his store situated close to the Ponte Vecchio.
