Food Market at San Gimignano

We spent a wonderful morning tasting the local products at a food market in San Gimignano and talking to the men and women who produced this fine fare. The products were many and varied and included meats, vegetables, cheese from sheep and goats, breads, oils and olives. Everything was produced locally.


The stall holders were as interesting as the food and seemed to fit the nature of the products sold. The wild boar salami was a favourite both for the food and the stall holder as were the olive oil ladies.

The pictures speak for themselves but we can only include a few at this time. They are essential post holiday viewing.

You are torturing me. I must go home and deep fry stuffed zucchini flowers immediately.

Wild Boar salami? I bet Dad loved that.

I think the cheese looks better than the wild boar salami :)
