Day 1 of my travels in Northern Italy and beyond. Cheesemaking with Gianni in a small town called Berbenno. He made 6 wheels today and showed us how he makes butter with his wood-carved form. Then we toured his small underground cellar downstairs #smallbatch #smalltownliving #itsbeautifulhere #imsolucky #myisfull
