Sunday we visited the Vatican, and for some it was their very first experience. This was such a blessed experience to witness the grandure of Rome through the eyes of others.
After, we started our journey to Peppe Zullo's in Orsara, but with a stop along the way to visit with a Master Cheese Maker. This time of the year, they are making the herbed cheeses with various cows, sheep and fresh herbs. It was wonderful to see how the different varieties were changed with the diet of the animals. There were two colors to the milk, pure white and more of a yellowish tint.
To sample all of these cheeses were a real treat. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Then we continued on our journey to Peppe Zullo's for our evening meal. Wood fired pizza with scamotz and of course wine. So nice to see our dear friend once again.
We are 2nd generation Italo Americans from the Puglia Region. Our story is like many Italo Americans brought together via tradition, laughter, family and food. Since we could walk, we were in our grandparents' gardens reaching for the prized "seed" tomato. The "tasty tomato" is our life force; metaphor for love, food, tradition, memories, comfort, the market, summer canning, harvest, celebration, and much more. Share our family traditions as we build upon the legacy of our Italian Ancestry.
Food Is...
Family, Tradition, Memories, Flavors, Gatherings, Laughter, Life, Vitality, Comfort...Love.
