Antipasti

Antipasti means 'before the meal'. It traditionally prepared the stomach with its preserves in vinegar for the remainder of the huge meal. We think it is the most contemporary way of eating nowadays and very simple to make.

Olive Oil

Oil was first cultivated in Iran about 5,000 years ago and came to Italy where it is used extensively above all other fats in Italian cooking. Extra virgin and good olive oils are very low in poly unsaturated fat. It is the most easily digested fat and therefore a staple of the Mediterranean diet. Regional oils vary a great deal due to the land-temperature and rainfall.

Vinegar

Vinegar is mostly made from wine where a bacteria called acetobacteri aceti converts the alcohol into vinegar. It is used for preserving vegetables and for sauces, particularly those that accompany rich meats. In Italy, a good vinegar has to have 6% acetic acid and a maximum of 1.5% alcoholic residue. Balsamic vinegar made from the cooked must or mosto of the Trebbiano grape is the most famous.
