Labor Day Weekend at the Oliveto Cafe at Oliveto Community

Labor Day Weekend at the Oliveto Cafe

September 1st, 2009 by Catherine Meng

This weekend (Sept. 4th – Sept 7th), we will be celebrating the launch of our Wheat Project in the Oliveto Cafe. With the Bay Bridge closed and the Labor Day holiday, this will be a laid-back, late summer shindig with a street-fair feel and some great food, served throughout the day and into the night. Pastry chef Jenny Raven tells us about what she’s got planned and conducts a taste test with her eleven-month-old son Ofelio.

From the street cart:

Crêpes with warm Gravenstein apples

Ratatouille-stuffed schiacciata

Merlot Grape focaccia

all made with true whole-milled hard red winter wheat

Fresh-milled polenta with ragú

In the restaurant:

we’ll be serving whole-milled Durum pappardelle

Tags: Jenny Raven, labor day, merlot grape focaccia, oliveto cafe, whole-milled wheat.

glad to see it correctly labeled on sign!
Schiacchiata con l’uva is a tradtional Tuscan sweet bread made now at the wine harvest.

We usually use Uva Fragola, which are not legal for wine making, sometimes called Clinton!

My local bakery makes a fig one, but we do two layers for bread with fruit so comes out jammy!
