Thought I would share some photos of Casole D’Elsa. Love this place, it is slightly larger than Radicondoli, but not by much and seems to be our go to place for local meat. Our latest outing to this idyllic village was to pick-up some meat and local vegetables in preparation for home cooking. We can’t be going out every evening!!
Casole D’Elsa is so lovely we just had to have a beer and taste the wonderful food while we were visiting. I had a wild guinea fowl pasta dish and Graham had Carbonara with truffle cooked the traditional Italian way. So gorgeous …..
We are staying on a beautiful olive grove, vineyard and orchard. Marco and Emanuela were so kind to say we could wonder into the orchard and help ourselves to some cherries. I just didn’t know where to start, an abundance of trees and branches with clusters of ripe, shiny, plump, bright red glowing cherries just ready for my taking. After mastering the art of gathering, with the stalks still attached, I had a bowl full and returned to our traditionally Italian farmhouse to wash, eat and store in the fridge the ample remaining.
