Fresh cheese from a mountain top cheese maker called Azienda Agricola.

 It is the middle of the afternoon here in Trevignano Romano, Italy.  Marco(my host) and I took a walk through the mountain trails this morning(more like mountain climbing) :).

After the walk, we took a drive to the top of the mountain where we purchased some fresh cheese.
