The winner's holiday will include round-trip airfare and participation in "A Classic Tuscan Table with Chef Claudio," an authentic, hands-on cooking course featuring simple yet refined Tuscan dishes. Complimentary lodging at Chef Claudio's charming cottages, a series of guided wine tastings and cultural excursions to the surrounding area are also included in the prize package.

"Stella cheeses are perfect in a wide variety of dishes, but even with these great flavors to work with, it's easy to fall into a culinary rut," says Katie Jury, Marketing Manager for Saputo Cheese USA Inc.'s specialty cheese brands. "We couldn't think of a better way to re-energize one lucky contestant's love of cooking than an immersive cooking vacation. Who wouldn't want to learn how to make classic Italian recipes from a world-famous professional chef in the midst of the breathtaking meadows, vineyards and Olive Groves of Tuscany?"
