DEAR FRIENDS
Giorgio
Nava and me in front of Alessandra’s
picture.

In December we think about Christmas
and our friends and family around the
world. And Christmas presents. For three
years now I have the same Christmas
present, but I am happy because it is
the best one I could get.
Our
Morgenster extra virgin olive oil has
once again received 98% from the expert
tasting panel of Flos Olei, the world’s
most authoritative competition and guide
to good olive oil.
Only 13 farms were
scored 98% by Flos Olei 2016, and
Morgenster is one of only 11 that has
received 98% three times in a row. |
Last month I promised to tell you about a
piece of art that I am very proud of. It is the
only one in the new restaurant that is not from
my South African collection, but as it was made
by my daughter, Alessandra, it is with great
pleasure that I added it to the selection to
share with you. The piece is called 'O GIRASOLE
MIO' and is a work in wax. I have hung it in 95
At Morgenster so it can immediately be seen. It
was hanging in the Espace Gaia gallery in Geneva
when I saw it for the first time. I made
Alessandra an offer which, luckily, she
accepted! It is inspired by the work of
Mathematician Fibonacci’s first book from 1202
(Can you imagine? Not even I am that old!), and
how that work applies to the seeds of the
sunflower and the concentric rings that they
form.
Till next time, I say Buon Natale
and ciao, and from the whole team you see our
best wishes below …
Giulio.
