Synopsis:
In Tuscany, the epicenter of Italian culture and cuisine, hosts and judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini welcome 10 talented chefs to live and cook together in a breathtaking villa, where they will be tested like never before on their mastery of Italian cuisine. The competitors will have to navigate alliances and rivalries, proving they have what it takes to be the last chef standing and win a life-changing prize -- an immersive culinary education with renowned master chefs across Italy. In this episode, two team captains join hosts Alex Guarnaschelli and Gabe Bertaccini on a visit to an Italian cheese cave that has been operating for over a thousand years! After an invaluable cheese tasting, the two leaders must purchase their main ingredients BEFORE they know what their challenge is, which impedes even the most successful chefs. At the end of what is their most difficult round yet, one more chef will be sent home.
