A beautiful tray of Norwegian smoked salmon. Norwegian smoked salmon is a premium product that has conquered tables around the world. Norway, with its cold, clean waters, offers the ideal environment for farming this prized fish, ensuring quality and flavour in every slice. The tradition of smoking salmon in Norway dates back centuries, when it was used as a method of preservation. Today, this technique has been perfected, combining traditional methods with modern technology to obtain a product of the highest quality. The salmon is raised in controlled conditions, respecting rigorous environmental and animal welfare standards. Norwegian smoked salmon is known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health. It is also an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. These nutrients contribute to a balanced diet and provide numerous health benefits. The smoking process begins with the selection of the best salmon, which is then salted and left to rest to absorb the salt evenly. The salmon is then cold or hot smoked, using fine woods such as beech or oak, which give the fish its characteristic aroma and delicate flavor. Norwegian smoked salmon is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It can be served as an appetizer, accompanied by brown bread and butter, or used to enhance salads, pasta and sushi. Its soft texture and smoky flavor make it an ideal ingredient for refined and creative dishes. Norway is a world leader in sustainable salmon farming. Norwegian farms follow rigorous practices to minimize environmental impact, while ensuring the health and well-being of the fish. This commitment to sustainability makes Norwegian smoked salmon a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Smoked salmon is a food made from preserved salmon, which is cured and smoked. Usually, salmon of the species Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon) is used, but Oncorhynchus masou (Japanese salmon) or other species of the genus Oncorhynchus are sometimes used. Smoked salmon has a long history in Native American cultures. Smoked salmon was also a common dish in Greek and Roman culture throughout history, often eaten at large gatherings and celebrations. During the Middle Ages, smoked salmon became part of the diet of the people and was consumed in soups and salads. The 19th century marked the rise of the American smoked salmon industry on the West Coast, processing Pacific salmon from Alaska and Oregon. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

Focaccia pizzata della Manuelina. Buona, anzi ottima, alternativa alla classica focaccia con il formaggio è la focaccia pizzata. Questa l’ho mangiata dalla ottima focacceria Manuelina a Recco.
A very well-known type of focaccia with cheese is the Focaccia di Recco with cheese (in Genoese dialect a fugassa de Réccu), of which there are historical traces in literature since the 19th century. The focaccia, initially prepared in the restaurants and bakeries of Recco and the surrounding municipalities, quickly spread first in the Tigullio and Genoese areas and then throughout Liguria, often with small variations in the type of cheeses used.

A branch of capers: truly wonderful buds. Having a plant available, it is easy for me to photograph a branch of capers. As you can see, the capers sprout at the tips of the branches and slowly bloom.

The caper (Capparis spinosa L., 1753) is a small shrub or branched subshrub with a prostrate-drooping habit. The buds of the plant, called capers, are consumed, and more rarely the fruits, known as cucunci. Both are preserved in oil, vinegar or salt. The habit is tufted, with a stem that immediately branches and branches that are woody only in the basal part, often very long, initially erect, then creeping or drooping. Continue on Wikipedia

The fruit of the caper: few people know it but it is this. Few people know that the real fruit of the caper is this and not the bud that is normally eaten to add flavor to a dish. I only discovered now that the real name of this fruit is cucuncio. The caper is in fact only the bud of the flower. If you let it bloom, once pollinated, the fruit that resembles a small cucumber is formed.

I found this nice article on the site papilleclandestine.it which explains the difference between caper and cucuncio, very interesting.

A phase of the preparation of capers. To tell the truth, these are not exactly the capers in salt that you were looking for. In fact, in my house, capers are preserved in vinegar. We add coarse salt as soon as the fruits are picked to reduce the water inside them. Subsequently, after a couple of days in salt, we put them in jars in vinegar together with some leaves (yes, the leaves are also edible) and some fruit (I remind you that the caper itself is the bud of the flower from which a fleshy fruit similar to a cucumber then grows). This is therefore only one of the first phases of the preparation.

The caper (Capparis spinosa L., 1753) is a small shrub or branched subshrub with a prostrate-drooping habit of the Capparaceae family. The buds of the plant, called capers, are consumed, and more rarely the fruits, known as cucunci or caper fruits. Both are preserved in oil, vinegar or salt. The caper has been cultivated since ancient times and is widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin and in Western Asia up to Oman. It is spontaneous only on calcareous substrates: in its natural environment it grows on calcareous rocks, cliffs, on old walls, often forming tufts with drooping branches even several meters long. It is a heliophilous and xerophilous plant with very limited water requirements. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia
