According to a book on Italian cheese titled Italian Cheese, Caciotta Toscana is one of the most popular cheeses in Tuscany. Made from a blend of cow and sheep milk, the cheese is soft and pleasant. Sampling first only the center I thought the cheese okay but nothing extraordinary. Next I cut a bit of the washed white rind to taste along with mild center. It transformed the flavor entirely. The Tuscans know a thing or two about cheese.
