Once ripe, the best plums are carefully selected by hand and cooked slowly over a low heat to  make this soothing jam. Only cane sugar is added. An excellent ingredient in home-made tarts. We recommend serving it as an original dessert with dry biscuits soaked in liqueur.

Freerice.com it’s a quite interesting project, really web 2.0. It’s practically a game, a bit geeky and grindy, but really fun, expecially if you are note English mother born and you want to practise/test your English!

For each time you play the thesaurus game (and you get it right!), the United Nation will donate 10 grains of rice to defeat world hunger.

So you just need 2 minutes to donate, let’s say, at least 100 grains (well, the game it’s quite difficult, so if you are more skilled then me you’ll probably donate much more!!!)!

Go&play&save the world!

At this very moment more than 2 billion of rice grain were donated!

Oh yes, yesterday night the 18 people that participate to the San Lorenzo presents tasting had a little taste of Christmas!

We enjoyed an appetizers galore, with:

- Black Ligurian Olives in Brine “Taggiasca Cultivar”, “Mmh, so little and so tasty!!!”

- Chilli Peppers with Anchovies and Capers in Olive Oil, “Mmh, this are so good!”

- Grilled Artichokes in Olive Oil, “Uh, I love artichokes!”

- Organic Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Extra-virgin Olive Oil, “Mmh, so meaty!!!”

- Pecorino in Olive Oil, “Strong, good!”

On the table there where widely available to anyone:
- Crutin Cheese with Truffles, “Uh, this is SO good, so truffly!”
- Castelmagno D.O.P.
- Parmigiano Reggiano d.o.c., matured 36 months
- Testun al Barolo, ” Try this with the Franciacorta: it’s amazing!”
- Pork salami with Black Truffle, “The truffle taste is so good!”

And then arrived the Salad with grapes, apples and Goose Breast Fillets seasoned in Olive Oil and the Castelmagno Risotto, made with our Organic Carnaroli Rice.

And then the dessert galore:
- Panettone, served with Orange Zabaione (I actually witnessed people eating three slices in a row!)
- Crumbly Italian nougat
- Dark Chocolate Truffles
- Crumby little Italian nougat, covered in Chocolate

And we swallow all this with:

- Prosecco di Valdobbiadene d.o.c.

- Franciacorta d.o.c.g.

- Champagne Grande Réserve Rosé, “It’s pink, it’s pink: we MUST have it!”

- Moscato d’Asti d.o.c.g. 2006

I realize that comments all starts with uh or mmh, but it’s what actually went on in that room: I couldn’t help it! I mean, we helped it providing food and wine!!!

Every time you take a mouthful of any San Lorenzo products, the first thing that come out from your mouth is “Mmmh!”!

Soon a ful set of picture here!

Only wild blueberries are used in this jam. A clear, distinctive aroma with a pleasant tang of fruits of the forest. Delicious on a slice of buttered toast at breakfast or as a snack. Excellent on ice-creams and tarts.

And the fruits content is, as usually very high: 120 gof fruits for 100g of finished product.
