FLAVORS OF STARTING AUTUMN - Sapori di inizio autunno



Passing through the stalls of the market of a country nearby, I came across a nice bench for a manufacturer of artisan cheeses and noticed a creamy but fairly consistent goat cheese wrapped in fig leaves. Its very peculiar smell convinced me to buy it and take it home where I prepared a small appetizer that has cheered my day. Goat cheese, chestnut honey (the right bitter sweet that goes counter to the strong flavor of the cheese), walnuts and grape freshness to lighten the whole. If you have time, try it.
