Fattoria Il Secondo Altopiano

While researching for our vacation in Tuscany and Umbria we stumbled across this incredible looking farm online. There wasn't much information ,but the photos of the their incredible cheese drew us in and we had to find them. We drove for hours from Firenze, down dusty roads. We thought we were lost , even worse what would happen if we popped a tire? Well, we made it! and man was it ever worth the journey. The family was warm and inviting. We spent time there meeting their family, goats and horses. The cheese was next level! we bought more than we could eat. Who could refuse!

Our Civita airbnb host suggested and helped us arrange a goat cheese tasting with Alessandra and her husband. We are so glad we did! It was fun to see the farm: the goats, Cinderella the donkey, the chickens, the dogs and the rest. You can tell they love the animals and the animals are happy. The farm is self sustaining, with the organic goat feed raised right on their property. The cheese tasting included bread and a local wine and made a filling meal. We sampled 12 or 13 types of cheese and yogurt and bought several. We highly recommend both the cheese and the “tasting” experience.

Great cheese!

It is a real farm where beautiful goats are raised, with their milk over 20 types of cheeses are produced, all strictly organic as well as yogurt. I really liked the philosophy of this couple of graduates who left the city to live in a healthy environment, surrounded by nature.

The passion and great professionalism of Emanuele and Alessandra is expressed in all the exquisite goodness of their products. We will never tire of appreciating them. As if that were not enough, the Farm is a special place for us and for our children, who have learned to caress and play with a goat or a donkey or a horse ...
