Sink your teeth into a Black Cherry tomato, drenched by the summer sun, sweetly rich and intricately complex, and allow the juices to roll onto the tongue in a swirl of irresistible delicious pleasure. Tomatoes, the golden red pearls and oysters of the garden, burst with tangy goodness in your mouth. So many diverse variations to taste, so much flavor to discover, you won't want to miss this!
Sensational Tomatoes, the first in a series of tastings presented by Slow Food Upstate, and sponsored by OrangeCoat gourmet web design and Parson Organic Produce, takes a leisurely stroll through the world of distinct tastes to delight and educate your sophisticated palette.
The tasting will be a discovery of the individual qualities of some of the freshest organically grown gems, prepared by chef Nello Gioia at Ristorante Bergamo in downtown Greenville. The menu will be a full dinner, based on the tomato. Tasting of the food alone, naked and bare, striped of sauce, or other food partners, will be an essential element in all of the "Sensational" series, in order to teach the tongue about the unique qualities of each of the particular foods selected.
We hope you'll be able to join us next weekend for this exciting event that will benefit a local organization dedicated to preserving and perpetuating delicious traditional foods.
