Liquid Gold

More than a basic ingredient in cooking, olive oil is one of my favorite ingredients in life. Homer called it 'liquid gold' - as it has a history of culinary, medicinal and magical uses. Having been fortunate enough to live near Cartoceto, the oil capital of Le Marche, the gridded landscape of olive tree orchards offered both visual interest and constant anticipation of the fall harvest and fesitvals each year. Some of the best bruschetta in the world!!

Well done. 'Liquid Gold'.
I'll remember that name as from now.
