Sample Tuscan cuisine on your holiday

The fertile earth of Tuscany makes it a gourmet destination for food and wine. Local, seasonal and sustainable foods are the pride of Tuscan cuisine, with beef, fish and locally grown vegetables being the focus of many dishes. Whether you want to enjoy bistecca alla Fiorentina, a chargrilled steak, Livorno fish stew, white truffles or wine tasting from a local vineyard, Tuscan food is an experience all its own. Sweets are also important in Tuscan cuisine, dating from banquets in Florence in the 14th century to the 17th-century feasts of the Medici family. Bombolone, a type of doughnut, and stiacchiata, a flatbread with sugar and lard, are among the sweet delicacies. During your stay in Tuscany, be sure to try out some local favourites and experience the rich culinary culture of the region.
