So here is some news: When in Sicily you cannot avoid Pecorino, and naturally all the vendors and cheese shops sell different kinds of it –young and old, natural or refined with all manners of spices.
We always wanted to scan Sicily for a longer workcation but since time is scarce we thought why not hop to Palermo for a few days and breath in some cheesy air as kind of an aperitivo for future travels to come.
Finally it´s the time of the year for the annual spring market in Lichtensteig, Switzerland.
This one day market has regional cheeses as its main focus but trust me there will be plenty more of delicious regional delicacies. Beer, honey, spirits and sausages – you name it, you´ll find it!
