Description
This one makes my top 10 for sure in taste alone.San Donato Di Ninea Mountainside courtesy of Frank
Taste? Well, when San Donato first hits the tongue, you get the impression of a light, effervescent, capricious, little thing flirting with you..a passing fancy...eye candy. But then the second wave washes over the taste buds. Bam! This is serious, substantial, rich, full-bodied intelligent fig marrow teasing the olfactory and gustatory receptors as it passes the mouth on its way to the esophagus. In a word..exquisite.
