Turkey, which is the country that we are most familiar with the kebap, the dürüm and Turkish Delight, or, for those who enjoy travel novelty cookie jars among us, the land of the carpet weavers with the inevitable glass of hot apple tea, colorful bazaars, hookah boutiques and giant All-inhotels. Not exactly a country that you associate with a unique gastronomic culture. And yet there. There is even a wine culture in Turkey. A wine culture that was already mature when we barely ventured our first steps here in Europe, in the grape growing and winemaking. 1 Back to the roots:. A Hittite Peter? If we look for the traces of the first wine we should almost back to the dawn of mankind. novelty cookie jars The oldest finds that certainly point to the existence of wine carry as many as 7,000 years Hajji Firuz Tepe back to a small Neolithic settlement in the lap of the rugged Zagros Mountains (northern Iran). In the mid 90s there were a group of American archaeologists discovered the oldest remains of what once must have been a memorable cuvée agree. novelty cookie jars What he was made of grapes, whether he was white or red, and whether he was minerally or fruity, we will probably never know. But, that was the wine that was stored in the jars is proven novelty cookie jars beyond doubt: the fact of 5400-5000 BC dating remains of several novelty cookie jars large jars containing a remarkably large amount tartraatkristallen, novelty cookie jars a biochemical novelty cookie jars compound that is exceptionally novelty cookie jars much present in grapes. Moreover found 9-liter jars containing - the volume of a contemporary salman azar Champagne! - Also remnants of resin from the turpentine tree (Pistacia terebinthus), a tree that is common in dry, rocky places around the Mediterranean. Which resin was not just added because the Hittites were keen on a resin flavor in their wines. She served as a preservative. Just as in the contemporary Greek retsina was the rosin used because of the antibacterial activity. Vessels were disinfected and sealed it, and the wine itself a sturdy spoon resin was also added to make sure that he months pleasing to the palate remained. The discovery of this resin residue thus proving that it was not a spontaneous, unwanted fermentation of grapes or grape juice just, but that indeed was the first real wine in those jars. We can even further reduction in the misty regions of the earliest wine history. novelty cookie jars Our quest would bring us to one of the first real cities, particularly the Turkish Catalhoyuk, located in the shadow of the two-headed volcano Hasan Dağ in Central Anatolia. Among the remains of the earthen walls of the Neolithic settlement, novelty cookie jars which dates from 7500 BC, pottery shards were found each containing a small pile of grape seeds. These were the leftovers of a nice after-dinner game of la-mik-grape seeds-in-the-pot-no-neighbor-to-bottom spit you? Probably not. It is more likely that these seeds were the dregs of wine made from whole grapes fermented in primitive earthenware pots. Or fermentation was desired, we can not figure out, but what can we deduce from here though is that man grapes and their juice all the way to value did estimate. Sometime later - we have already novelty cookie jars arrived in the second millennium BC - we get a clearer view on the use of wine in the everyday life of the Near and Middle East. Not far from Catalhoyuk, in central Anatolia, the unspoilt, rugged outback of central Turkey, because we find the remains back from what was once the mighty novelty cookie jars capital of the vast Hittite empire: Hattusa (modern Boğazköy). During the excavations of the city exceeded novelty cookie jars one hundred clay tablets with them hymns and numerous references to the use of wine by the Hittites. Wine apparently played a social and ritual role of paramount importance. Their society He was not only used during religious rites, but also served as a kind of social distinguishing, for such a jug of wine you could only put on the table when you belonged to the richest people. Wine was an exclusive product, a bit like today 1er crus from Bordeaux.

A jar of those wonderfully fragrant wine Why the Hittites brought their wine culture, will remain a mystery, but they strongly expanded time
