On September 9, 2007 in Pienza Italy the Festa del Cacio in Pienza (or Cheese Festival) is taking place. The festival highlights Pecorino cheese (pictured at left), a sheep's milk cheese, and other local products. The word pecora, from which the name Pecorino derives, means sheep. Most pecorinos are aged and sharp. Pienza, the birthplace of Pope Pius II, is a small town near Siena that overlooks the Orcia River Valley. Best of all, Pienza is only 34 miles from Siena!
