- Recommended reading: "Cooking from the heart of Spain: Food of La Mancha", by Janet Mendel, author of the "Traditional Spanish Cooking" (Frances Lincoln Limited, 2008). A rather surprising delivery that approaches the inner secrets of this region's cookery, with hundreds of well described recipes, situation articles and easy reading local topics. "In the autumn, Spain's central meseta, high plateau land, surprises with bursts of colour -russet leaves of vineyards, poplar trees by riverbanks spangled with golden leaves, sweet green of new wheat springing up. Ploughed earth is a strong mineral red. Sunsets above the vast plains streak the sky with violet, pink and periwinkle. Ruffled by wind, the leaves of olive trees shimmer silvery green (...) I have lived in Spain for many years and love its food from the inside and out. La Mancha, for me, is the "real" Spain -not Andalucía, not Catalonia, not the Basque country, not Galicia nor Asturias. This is Spanish cooking true to its roots and enticing in its future. The heart of Spain", Mendel writes.

A visit to the olive grove of the Natural Reserve of la Sierra de las Nieves, at the feet of La Concha Mountain in the Costa del Sol, discovers a beautifull landscape where the olive variety aloreña has received an official protection of its origin, the first table olive in Spain to attain such degree of protection. You may start with a breakfast at the Refugio de Juanar, once you have photographed the white and geometrical beauties of the town of Ojén, a village famous for its ancient alcohol destileries as well as for the singel Julio Iglesias, who has a vacation house here.

- Olive Oil as global culture/food crossover. See The Wiggles "Olive Oil" performance in the musical production Cold Spaghetti Western (2.004). Wearing Holstein-patterned chaps and mixing kangaroo references with Mariachi music, the Wiggles take on a Western theme in this eccentric hybrid of Australian and American cowboy life. The central plot revolves around the town fair's Country Cook-Off and the Wiggles' favorite chef Alfonso's "disaster pasta," a crushing culinary failure due to a missing ingredient. Greg, Anthony, Murray, and Jeff set off to find the all-important component aided by Foodman, Superhero of Sustenance. Along the way there is plenty of opportunity for singing ("We're cowboys, we eat fresh fruit when we can."). The highlight is the Spanish language "Cielito Lindo" sung--and danced--by a traditional Mariachi band. Despite a distinct lack of horses and cows, children ages 2 to 8 will enjoy the hour-long ride (Kimberly Heinrichs).

- New Crop 2007 Dintel Arbequino arrives to the factory for packing.
Loyal product to the climatic characteristics of every crop, the new Dintel E.V. Arbequino 2007 is very much as original as last year's. Less
aromatic might be a cata result, but once you get it on your senses,that
is your mouth, as we say, it is a perfect equilibrium in the extra virgin
range that will delight the fans of the "gusto perfecto", a crossroads where
every connosseur encounters the way to the "equilibrate" nirvana, once more,
of the senses, let it be said. Moderate then, but surely more aromatic than the regular arbequinos that will
be put in the markets this coming year 2008, the new Dintel Arbequino has
ideal properties for crude uses. Fruity like few others, it brings out the taste
of truffled soils, dry poppies and wet herbs, with a light "picant" flavour in the aftertaste,
qualities all proper of the very humid spring that Spain has enjoyed this past 2007 season.

- Recommended reading: "Cooking from the heart of Spain: Food of La Mancha", by Janet Mendel, author of the "Traditional Spanish Cooking" (Frances Lincoln Limited, 2008). A rather surprising delivery that approaches the inner secrets of this region's cookery, with hundreds of well described recipes, situation articles and easy reading local topics. "In the autumn, Spain's central meseta, high plateau land, surprises with bursts of colour -russet leaves of vineyards, poplar trees by riverbanks spangled with golden leaves, sweet green of new wheat springing up. Ploughed earth is a strong mineral red. Sunsets above the vast plains streak the sky with violet, pink and periwinkle. Ruffled by wind, the leaves of olive trees shimmer silvery green (...) I have lived in Spain for many years and love its food from the inside and out. La Mancha, for me, is the "real" Spain -not Andalucía, not Catalonia, not the Basque country, not Galicia nor Asturias. This is Spanish cooking true to its roots and enticing in its future. The heart of Spain", Mendel writes.
