Time to pick up olives in our olive grove in Maiolati Spontini, on the hills of Jesi: two hectares of Frantoio, Rosciola and Leccino olive varieties for our Terre di Ger E.V.O. Oil, a typical product of the Marches region in central Italy.

As soon as olive pressing is completed the new vintage will be ready and we’ll stay in touch to describe all its characteristics very soon. Meanwhile, let’s try a new recipe by Chef Ivana Frank of Bora Cooking System, a renowed German brand and Terre di Ger partner.

Add about two-thirds of the peas into a food processor together with the chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic clove, mint (leaves only!), 4 tbsp of olive oil and a level tsp of salt and pepper. Puree.

Char on a Bed of Cauliflower Couscous and Hazelnuts

INGREDIENTS
For two people

• 2 char fillets, 150 – 200 g each, boned
• ½ cauliflower head (approx. 300 g)
• 1 handful roasted hazelnuts
• 4 – 5 sprigs of dill
• 1 organic lemon (zest and juice)
• Salt, pepper, olive oil and a little cooking oil (e.g. organic cooking olive oil)

PREPARATION

Preheat a Tepan zone to 180 degrees. Wash the cauliflower, chop into couscous-size pieces in a food processor and place in a bowl. Salt the fish fillets on both sides, drizzle a little cooking oil onto a Tepan zone and place the fish skin-side down on the Tepan. Use the spatulas to carefully hold the fillets down flat for the first few seconds, waiting until they are two-thirds cooked. Meanwhile, chop up the dill (set aside two sprigs for garnishing), finely grate the zest of half a lemon and add to the cauliflower with the hazelnuts. Season with the juice of the whole lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Switch off the Tepan, turn the fish and continue to fry for another thirty seconds. Meanwhile, serve the cauliflower couscous on plates and garnish with additional hazelnuts. Add the fully cooked fish to the salad and garnish with the sprigs of dill.

PLACE YOUR ORDER

The vintage 2018 of Terre di Ger’s Limine is produced from resistant varieties and has already earned praise from experts both in Italy and abroad.

Limine is the wine that has lead Terre di Ger into organic farming, looking to the future of viticulture. Limine is our greatest pride: it is produced from the best resistant grape varieties (PIWI) – a blend of Soreli and Sauvignon Kretos – and has already earned praise from journalists and wine experts. This looks like another great leap forward for the spreading of PIWI culture in Italy and the recognition of the quality of resistant grape varieties. Good reviews are making these grapes’ potential even greater and this is very encouraging for us to give our best following our mission.
