adopt an olive tree & receive fresh italian extra virgin olive oil straight from the grove
How to make the perfect Bruschetta
Bruscetta is a classic antipasto of Italy which is simply grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with salt and extra virgin olive oil. While many think the classic is topped with tomatoes or salad, it is actually referring to the this simple bread - the word bruscetta comes from the Italian word “bruscare” meaning “to roast over coals”. However, that's not to say it can't be enjoyed with other flavours, it is a wonderful base to make and top with other bits.
Top top: it's pronounced brew-sketta and not "brew-shetta" as many think.
