Dairy
Borgo Santo Pietro is moving tradition forward by integrating generations of cheese making knowledge and practice in order to produce artisan cheese on a large scale.
The newly acquired dairy farm includes more than 300 sheep, a further 100-acres of rolling green pasture alongside the River Merse and approx. 400 liters of sheep’s milk is produced daily, which is transformed into cheeses that range from exquisitely soft and fresh ravaggiolo and primo sale to ricotta, brie, truffle cheese, blue cheese, fresh, semi-mature and mature pecorino.
Our artisan cheeses can be found in the menus of our Michelin-starred restaurants and Tuscan trattoria and can be enjoyed by our hotel guests at breakfast as part of the breakfast buffet.
These are the artisan cheeses produced at our dairy farm:
- Ricotta
- Ravaggiolo
- Primo Sale (regular and flavoured with Borgo Santo Pietro’s lavender and Palazzetto’s Saffron)
- Robiola
- Fiorito (a cheese similar to Brie)
- Fresh, semi-mature and mature pecorino
- Flavoured pecorino (truffle, chili pepper, wild fennel, black pepper and basil)
- Sheep blue cheese
Our boutique hotel was born out of the passion and desire to create and share a unique yet welcoming place where nature meets luxury. The location we chose in Tuscany, near Siena, San Gimignano and San Galgano and not far from Florence, was essential for bringing a sense of calm, relaxation and well-being and has enabled us to transport you far away from the stresses of the outside world. With a 13th century villa at its heart, our five star award-winning hotel is a haven rich in history where people can come to celebrate a special occasion such as a honeymoon or a wedding, to relax with our bespoke spa treatments or to simply enjoy a romantic taste of heaven. Our definition of luxury is attention to detail, unsurpassed friendly service and unique experiences in a comfortable yet stylish setting. We have taken inspiration from our own personal travels and observations, pinpointing the very details that make the difference between a 5 star hotel and “The Borgo Experience”.
