The small town, which is a short journey from Siena and perfect for a Tuscany holiday, has been hailed as "cheese heaven" by one of the food industry's leading figures.
Bob Farrand, chairman of the Guild of Fine Food, told the Guardian: "The star is pecorino stagionato di fossa, a sheep's milk cheese made in April or May and gently matured until August, when it is wrapped in white cotton and sealed in an airless stone cave for 90 days.
"Ageing in a vacuum promotes a secondary maturation, which delivers the most extraordinary flavour."
As well as offering exquisite cheese, a Tuscany holiday also offers visitors the chance to witness the historic sites in Siena.
These include the city's Campo, Palazzo Pubblico and Duomo, which was built in 1495 to honour local hero Pope Pius II.
