Un ottimo Jamon Serrano gustato a bordo

An excellent Jamon Serrano enjoyed on board.
I have posted photos of this dish many times but almost every time I taste it I always take a photo of it.
In this case a group of passengers, on board a ship I was on last year, had organized an aperitif cocktail in which they served the Spanish ham they provided.
It was truly excellent, I had to try a few slices, the only shame is that they had provided it to us a few minutes before serving it so it was really difficult to plate it properly.

Do you like Spanish ham or do you prefer Italian ham?

Serrano ham (literally “mountain ham”) is a food obtained by salting and air-drying the hind legs of white pigs. Also popularly known as “Jamón del país” or “Jamón curado”, this same product is also called paleta or paletilla when it is obtained from the front legs. The designation of Serrano ham is recognized as a traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG).

Un rinfrescante e classico Mojito

Un fresco Mojito

Un rinfrescante e classico Mojito.
Cosa c’e’ di piu’ rinfrescante di un buon mojito? A me piace moltissimo e di solito, quando non guido, mi piace prenderlo come aperitivo. Questo e’ di quest’estate e me lo hanno preparato al Tortuga in Sestri Levante.
Un po’ sfocati poi, dietro il bicchiere, gli stuzzichini tipici delle mie parti: olive, focaccia, pizzetta, focaccia con formaggio e patatine.

L’origine del mojito rimane piuttosto controversa: viene spesso narrato che un cocktail simile al moijto fu inventato dal famoso pirata inglese Sir Francis Drake (El Draque) nel XVI secolo. Quella versione era preparata con aguardiente (rum non invecchiato) di bassa qualità, limetta, acqua, zucchero raffinato bianco di canna e una specie locale di menta, la hierbabuena. Nella metà del 1800 pare che la società Bacardi abbia dato un impulso di popolarità alla bevanda, che comunque raggiungerà la sua definitiva popolarità solo nel XX secolo.

Mojito.
Non amando lo spritz veneziano mi butto sempre sul mojito come aperitivo.
La menta fresca in primo piano era veramente profumata!

Questo, che era ottimamente preparato, l’ho gustato a Savona e, se guardate bene, potete vedere una bella vaschetta di olive taggiasche come snack!

Alcuni snack spagnoli come aperitivo.
Aspettando una paella ad un ristorante di Ibiza, passiamo l’attesa divorando questore tre coppette assortite: olive verdi, noccioline miste ed una cremina da spalmare sul pane (burro all’aglio).

Jamon Iberico in Ibiza for an aperitif

Jamon Iberico in Ibiza for an aperitif.
Passing through Ibiza, where to tell the truth I have been a few times, I couldn't miss a lunch with a bit of jamon Iberico as an aperitif.

I also like raw ham, since that's what it is, a little seasoned (almost dry) and cut a little thicker; the original Spanish one, by tradition, is cut by hand and not with a slicer like we do in Italy.

For those who don't know, "Jamón ibérico (Iberian ham), or pata negra, or carna negra, is a type of ham from Iberian pigs, highly appreciated in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine, where it is considered a haute cuisine product."

Little Venice in Mykonos

Little Venice

Little Venice in Mykonos.
The most characteristic neighborhood of Mykonos is Little Venice. Located just below the famous windmills, it is a collection of houses, restaurants and bars that lean directly onto the sea. In fact, with rough seas, the tables closest to the water cannot be used.
This photo was taken at sunset: having an aperitif by the sea is truly enchanting!

Tramonto sul mare del 7 luglio

Tramonto sul mare del 7 luglio.
Vedere un bel tramonto estivo, sul mare, ti fa veramente rendere conto di quanto bello sia vivere a Sestri Levante.
Se poi aggiungi una buona compagnia, ed un aperitivo in un luogo incantevole (la location è il Papagajo, sul porticciolo di Sestri), non ce n’è per nessuno!
