Cider women
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become an alcoholic beverage.
In my opinion, the main reasons for making alcoholic beverages with fruits and seeds are two. On the one hand, it is a way to preserve crops: alcohol as a preservative, is a way to keep these fruits without wasting them after much fruit. On the other hand, when water pollutes diseases and pests, the beverage disinfected with alcohol and fermentation has a great value for health.
Wild or cultivated, the beverages with natural fruits at our disposal are nutritional and health complementary: a healthy diet. And who cares in our cultures about healthy family and clan feeding? What a woman!
All those who appear in the hieroglyphs, icons and images of yesteryear making these beverages are women. The creation and care of these beverages depended on him, and they were often part of the cult of the goddesses that linked them to nature. It's natural, the fruit is the female, the fecundity ...
The two forces have dismissed the woman from these fermentations, which have not resulted in injuries. The first, the churches of supposed religions, which never correspond to the joy and health of the possession and enjoyment of these drinks, related them to the charms. And the second, the drinks, which were for the house, became a big business, that is, the work of the house, a source of income that the class men could not support...
Sending women into a healthy diet is OK, OK. But to have a commandment in the pleasures, in the pleasures and in the diners, that is not! Of course men have to bite there with the stick of teeth and bites!
It is not difficult in the world of cider and wine to develop in a similar way. Historians will bring it to light. In 1609, the Inquisitor Pierre Errostegi of Lancre described the Basque Country as follows: “It’s the town of apples; women only eat apple, only drink cider and are always ready to bite the apple of temptation.” Not supported by sterile Christian men. It is no wonder that we are witnessing a turn of the nut in which more and more shops and wineries of wine are in the hands of women. For the sake of cider and cider! Wine drinkers tell us...
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
Egin du izotzak berea: azioa, txarkeria. Aspaldian ikusi gabeko izotz zuri galantak izan ditugu apirilaren bukaeran. Sator-lana baina agerian, inongo lotsarik gabe: azerikeria. Ikaragarria bota du Euskal Herriaren hegoaldean.

Maiatz ederrari ekin diogu. Konturatzerako bero sapa azaleratzen diguten urteko egun luzeenetan gara. Urteko gau motzenak izango dira orduan, baina ikuskizun paregabea eskaintzen dutenak. Ez naiz ari jai txolinenei adarrak ipintzen dizkieten su-festa zalapartatsuez. Isilagoak... [+]
Uhaga edo ponpa izugarriak dira landareak. Zuhaitz handiak, zer esanik ez. Metro eta erdiko gerribuelta duen pago (Fagus sylvatica) batek egunero 400 litro ur behar ditu metabolismoari eusteko. 400 litro ur aurkitu behar ditu non edo han; sustraije ikaragarria garatzen du ur... [+]
Estimatzeko intentzio osoarekin sagardo botila bat ireki, edalontzia sudurrera hurreratu eta botila itxita izan duen tortotxaren usaina hartzea, horixe infernua!
Sekulakoa iruditzen zait aurtengo negua jo eta eskaintzen ari zaigun kolore sinfonia. Eguraldi xelebreagatik ote? Epel gozotik izotzera; lehorte punttutik uholdeetara. Ala neroni nabil halatsu, eta aurten begi berriak ditut...
Kosmopolita da getozka, Portulaca oleracea. Munduan barrena hara eta hona hedatu dugu, jakinaren gainean edo azpian, eta toki askotan ondo bizi da. Noranahitarra da, eta edonon nonahikoa. Dakigun guztia bezala, ez dakigu oso ondo nongoa den. Landareez ari garenean, ikaragarrizko... [+]
Orbel kontuak ekarri ditudala paperera eta, irakurle batek hosto ihar horiek landarezaleontzat zein onuragarriak diren aipatu zidan; krixtaua zen, eta “bedeinkazio” bat zirela zioen.
