Olive Oils of Andalusia: The Gold of Spain On one of the balmy nights so
typical of Seville; when the stars are almost eclipsed by the brightness of a moon crescent
and the unbelievable Mediterranean sky is stabbed by the spiring silhouette of the Giralda
Tower - a twelfth-century minaret topped by the Renaissance belfry of one of the largest
Cathedrals in Christendom- I was pondering on the folly of the Conquistadors who had set
sail 500 years earlier, leaving this beautiful, thriving city behind. The gold is right
here: Spain is the largest exporter of Olive oils in the world and Andalusia produces 80%
of all of Spain's olive oils. There are more than 260 varieties of olive trees in Spain -
200 of which are in Andalusia.

In a Drowsy Tuscan Village, It's Truffles That Arouse Interest Cognoscenti are converging on the less-trampled truffle paths around the sleepy village of San Giovanni d'Asso, about 25 miles southeast of Siena in the cypress-studded hills of Tuscany. While Tuscan truffles lack the brand-name recognition of those from Alba, San Giovanni d'Asso also lacks the circus atmosphere that can result in overpricing and overhunting. "Truffles don't like pollution and, as you can see, there's nothing here," said Leonardo Terzigli, a truffle trader from Florence. Nothing, except for luscious wheat fields, crumpled clay hills and the ribboned vineyards of the Sangiovese grape, which is used to make two of Italy's finest wines: Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. |
| TASTE OF THE CARRIBEAN | |
|
12th annual "Taste of the Caribbean," a prestigious culinary competition held this year in the U.S. for the first time since 2000. As complex as the fascinating history of the region, Caribbean cuisine incorporates nfluences from its native Indians to its diverse European settlers (Spanish, Dutch, French, English), from their African slaves to more recent migratory streams such as Arabic, Chinese, and East Indian. All of these elements were evident in the bounty of brilliant combinations served, many bearing the imprint of European technique, tangy Creole flavors with zesty spices, and a particular talent for "making do" - often required in the islands. |
