Living and Working in the Countryside - Edizioni Del Baldo

Transforming cheeses, jams, liqueurs, bread, processing pork for a perfect pantry, making wine, vinegar, and oil.
This volume is a true manual divided into three parts. It starts with the land: understanding the soil and fertilization. Then it delves into the seasonal cultivation of the vegetable garden and orchard, with particular attention to planting, maintenance, and lunar phases. The second part concerns farm animals and the transformation of raw materials into high-quality finished products: such as milk into cheese, the types of flours for bread making, pork for the preparation of cured meats, as well as the use of fruits and vegetables for preserves, jams, and liqueurs. The third part is dedicated to the cellar: wine, vinegar, beer, and oil.
Everything is explained in minute detail, from the choice of materials to the analysis of the tools used, examining all stages of processing to arrive at the finished product. Recommended for those who want to continue with their farming roots and have decided to dedicate part or all of their life to the outdoors. A great gift for beginners as a “starter” manual, but also an excellent present for the more experienced.
A book that should be in every educational farm or agritourism immersed in greenery.
