BISTECCA FARM
Fattoria Bistecca or “T-Bone steak Farm” says “Welcome”
From a passion for Family tradition and agriculture “Fattoria Bistecca” was born. Fattoria Bistecca is a family-owned farm in the Chiana Valley, at the foot of Cortona, and takes its name from the Salvadori’s family farming history.
Fattoria Bistecca has been meticulously restored. It is surrounded by over 37 acres of grain, fields of sunflowers, alfalfa and beautiful vinyards. The farm is also home to many animals including ponies, chickens, hens, geese, ducks, doves and sheep. Our sheep are famous because they are in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. In the movie, the sheep stop the bus in front of “Bramasole” where Frances decides to buy the house.
Offerings at Fattoria Bistecca include:
The Art of Pecorino cheese making classes;
Cooking class Old Tuscan Recipes;
Farm tour, Tasting, Traditional Country Dinner and accomodation.

“OLD TUSCAN RECIPES”
The new kitchen has been built where the Chianini cattle lived in the past. Ilaria and her family are recreating the recipes and passion of Great Grandmother Dinda and Aunt Anna.
Starting with pasta: pici, tagliatelle, pappardelle, gnocchi; then an appetizer which will change with the season. We are very lucky because we will get fresh vegetable products from Mama Paola’s garden. We will cook panzanella, ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, zucchini flowers and more.The cooking class will include a dessert: tiramisù, cantucci toscana (almond biscuits), zuppa Inglese.
The recipes are seasonal using fresh products. You can choose your favourite recipe. The adventure will end at our beautiful table while you are enjoying the meal you have created.
