Olive oil cake garnished with blueberry compote.

Similar to a pound cake the olive oil cake uses olive oil in place of butter. A thin layer of sugar across the top of the cake gives the cake a nice light crunch. Each slice is garnished with a blueberry compote made with a hint of lemon zest.

We are open 11am-9pm Tue-Thurs
And open 11am-9:30pm Fri&Sat

Ca dei Frati
.
Here we have a wine producer from Marco’s home region on lake Garda. We have everything from their white Luganas, light rosés, to reds such as their Amarone named after Pietro Dal Cero. Of the five wines of Ca Dei Frati featured here four can only be found in the state of Alabama at Lé Fresca. Let’s take an exert from their website to see the history of the winery.
.
“Once upon a time ...
The Ca 'dei Frati company has been renowned since 1782, as confirmed by a document that refers to "a house with a cellar located in Lugana in the Sermion district known as the place of the Friars". In 1939, Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, formerly a wine grower in Montecchia di Crosara near Verona, moved to that very house in Lugana di Sirmione, immediately realizing the area's potential for vine cultivation. After thirty years working in the vineyard and the cellar, his son Pietro took part in the creation of the DOC in 1969, bottling his first wine with the label Lugana Casa dei Frati, later named Ca 'dei Frati. In 2012, Pietro Dal Cero passed away, leaving the cultural legacy to his wife Santa Rosa and children Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria, who run the company with the same passion and determination.”
