| Salute! |
On Friday evening we enjoyed a wonderful event about Puglia. We started with a slide
show and talk about the Region’s beautiful architecture by John Anderson. Then we had
an amazing Mediterranean supper with a selection of traditional cheeses made by professional
cheese maker Massimiliano De Caro (Massimiliano has been making mozzarella and other
cheeses for 20 years) and a glass or red wine. And when our bellies were full and our spirits
high Massimiliano showed us how to stretch mozzarella, and talked about the other cheeses
he makes, like ricotta with chives and scamorza.

Slow Food Waitakere would like to thanks the Dante Alighieri Society of Auckland
for organizing the event and inviting the members of Slow Food to participate.
