Bari, Italy

 Today they use stainless steel high tech machinery. The family also offered us an olive oil tasting. You take a small sip, roll it around to coat your mouth, then breathe in through your teeth. It's very interesting. And if you cough, it means the olive oil is good!! 

They then served us lunch. OHH MAMA MIA!! Nine appetizers - cheese with pear jam, sausage, eggplant with mortadella and cheese, foccacia, mushrooms on toast, grilled peppers with a mixture of cheese and chichory, I can't even remember all of them. Red wine. Then the pasta dish with boneless pork ribs. Then of course dessert - a great cake layered with cream and jam!!!
