Olives
|
| „Be
a miser for vinegar, a wizard for salt, and a spendthrift
for olive oil – and mix everything like a
fool“ – Olive oil is fruity, has a certain
acidity, and its also all right, if it is bitter.
Depending on the climate, the soil, and the stage
of maturation olives taste spicy or mild, racy or
subtle, occasionally bitter as almonds. |

Culture
|
Perhaps
it is the enchantment of the place or a certain
mysticism, that can be felt everywhere in Umbria,
that earlier or later induces every visitor of this
region to believe that Saint Francis, this great,
gentle, kind, and poetic saint of joy and gentleness,
could only have been born in Umbria.
