The Val di Chiana is a fertile valley stretching between the provinces of Siena and Arezzo, in eastern Tuscany. Although you are not directly there in Maremma, this region is renowned for the breeding of the Chianina, an emblematic cattle breed whose meat is the basis of the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina. If you are looking to taste this authentic culinary specialty, you will often find it offered in Maremma restaurants, as it is a strong symbol of Tuscan gastronomy. Understanding the origin of this meat helps you fully appreciate your plate.
