Enjoy
“Tasting a single slice, will cause a velvety explosion of fruits and the sea in your mouth-combined with a spicy whiff- that will reach the utmost parts of your brain.
…a long lasting sensation…”
SIMOS GEORGOPOULOS, Journalist
Slices alone on a plate will offer you an unforgettable pure experience, which will be slightly enhanced and more satiating when served with freshly baked bread or warm blinis. On the other hand it will obviously upgrade its taste in green salads as well as on pasta, accompanied by parsley galore. Finally for the most daring, two slices on top of a readymade foie gras may open the gates of a new gastronomic nirvana.
