The three top cheeses....

Queijo da Ilha de São Jorge (Azores). With a long aftertaste and a tongue-burning spiciness. It's good for everything and tends to be rather addictive.

The French Comté from the Jura region works wonders with a piece of good fresh white bread and a quality coffee.

The parmigiano reggiano is always present in the fridge and irreplaceable for a good pasta or a bicchiere di vino.

Gourmet....

Signor Balocco "Furbo"....

This must be the result of the "furbezza italiana" !? Where is the proportion between the content and the packaging ? Of course....the package is what you see before paying for the product - but on the other hand, you only buy it once.

Beer assortment indeed...!

Breakfest in America....
