Re: Italian Earth Quake

They are saying on the news that 75% of the village of San Felice, where the earthquake was 2 weeks ago, has been destroyed and they are conferming 9 dead and more missing.

Re: Italian Earth Quake

A very interesting site, Margaret. This is terrible news and I'm glad you and yours are OK Dianne - if a bit shaken!

At the risk of being thought flippant, the site has this to say:

Remember that the last quake caused around 500 million Euros damage around 200 million Euros of which was due to cheese-related losses.

Does this mean that the price of Parmesan will go up??

Actually, they were selling off cheaply those cheeses slightly damaged in the earthquake, otherwise they would have had to dump them. Don't think prices will go up due to the earthquake, but don't forget there's a financial crisis that obviously will affect all exports from Italy

Thanks, I'll keep a lookout for earthquake-soiled Parmesan!

Re: Italian Earth Quake

This is good news for those of us who like Mediterranean food - but I won't hold my breath that prices will drop very much in UK!

Olive oil price plunges to ten year low in further blow to Spain and Greece | This is Money

Coconut oil is better than olive oil, (allegedly)

Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

I recently switched to using it for all frying, but still use olive oil for salad dressing.

Re: Italian Earth Quake

The economic effects of this earthquake will be quite devastating
OMG it's happening again!
We've just had another quite big one!

Re: Italian Earth Quake

Back to the economic effect -things are already bad here and this will be a big blow. There has been a massive amount of damage to both modern and old buildings also to schools and hospitals.
There is another one now too as I write it is crazy -maybe I should go outside!
Anyway the death toll is 10 confirmed and a number of people missing so it's sad for those families involved.
It' quite sacry to feel them a a distance so I can't imagine what it must be like o be near.
They're saying the new shocks were big ones around or over 5 on the richter scale.

Re: Italian Earth Quake

They are just confirming the last 2 shocks -first one 5.3 -second one 5.1 on the Richter scale -very unusal to have had such big aftershocks and so close together.
Have been felt across the North again.

Re: Italian Earth Quake

This morning they are saying that there were 16 victims in yesterday's earthquake, 350 injured and very extensive damage over a vast area. They estimate that about 14,000 people have had to leave their homes because of damage.

A family arrived on our farm yesterday evening from a village near Modena -they had damage to their home (cracks in the wall, fallen plaster and damage to the roof) so they'll be here until it's declared safe. They were afraid to go home in any case and will be staying with one of my neighbours for a few days at least.
We were talking about what had been written on this thread about the price of Parmigiano Reggiano (if they sell it as Parmesan -it's not the real thing!). The opinion here is that the price will actually go up -though no doubt a black market of the damaged cheeses will soon be set up!

Hope that your ex-husbands family has not been affected Margaret.

It seems that the price of balsamic vinegar will also rise as that commodity comes from Modena.
