CHRISTMAS SEASON: FRIEND BRINGS A FRIEND

Ralda + Friends is pleased to announce our 2015 Christmas Campaign in order to get closer to you and all of your friends and relatives. Besides the campaign comes with a gift.

The idea is easy: if you talk to a friend about R+F and you convince him/her to adopt one of our trees, we will award you an exclusive and special Catalan Culinary Mortar from Joan Cortiella, Masters in Pottery. Of course, if you prefer to offer an Olive Tree on adoption to one of your friends, you will also receive the present.

Our Mediterranean mortars are traditional cooking tools. You will be able to easily prepare sauces (like the Allioli that Yaya Pili and Aitana made for you at this video-recipe: https://vimeo.com/127824727), dressings and other “delis” that will push your cooking skills to the next level. Just try to mince a little garlic with our olive oil and a bit of salt and parsley, and then put the mixture on your bruschetta… Wow!

This is not a conventional mortar. Each piece is unique as it is 100% handmade by Joan Cortiella, the last of the Masters in Pottery in the Montsià County (www.terrissacortiella.com). It is compounded of a ceramic pot and a pestle of an olive wood (of course) from the village of La Senia.

Please note this singular story: Joan was born in the little village of La Galera, located at only 2.5km of Godall. Although the legendary football derbies and rivalries between the two villages, he bravely decided to marry a young Historian lady from Godall, Olga Ralda. And no it is not a joke…She has the same name but Olga does not belong to our family, however she is a good friend of us.
