THE CHEESE AND THE SPINDLE
The Cheese game of Pienza is an ancient, poor and very simple game. To play you need a spindle, a cheese and a playing field on which to roll the cheese.
Around the spindle, planted in the middle of the playing field, they are drawn concentric rings that delimit five areas, giving a score from one to five. The goal is to launch the cheese and make it stop as close as possible to the spindle. The points increase if the cheese rotates around the spindle or leans on it.
We wait for Sunday, September 2Nd with our raw milk cheeses in Pienza and do not miss the Cheese game!
