I enjoy fermented foods, whether it be sourdough bread, yoghurt and cheese, miso, or wine. A combination of good sourdough bread, great olive oil, well matured cheese and long-finish wine is hard to beat and great for sharing.
There is a huge array of on-line literature touting the health benefits of fermented foods. I take a cautious approach to many of the claims, but I think it's highly likely that we and our digestive systems have evolved in sympathy with some micro-organisms, allowing us to eat food that would otherwise have been unavailable.

Marfuga Olive Oil

DateTuesday, December 27, 2011 at 8:35PM

A visit to the Marfuga farm outlet in Campello sul Clitunno, Umbria is well worth it if you are passing by. The award winning oil is a blend of local Moraiolo, Frantolo and Leccino olives and is great for dipping bread. The L'Afflorente is the first pick of the year (October) and is 100% Moraiolo. I really like it's low acidity.
