Lorena Jaén (reporter in “Andalucía Directo”): “Juani: this one, that you are experiencing, this year, is unusual. Is not it?”
Now you can read on image: THE FIRST STRAWBERRIES ARE ALREADY COLLECTED IN CONIL.
Juani: “But..yes, the truth is that it is something exceptional, because another years, it has started a month later. It rained very little and that has made the production of strawberries has been early, this year”
Lorena: “Have you seen something so .... ie, a harvest of strawberries so early?
The owner of the estate: “No. This is the first time it happens, by the rising temperatures, that we have had, they are as if we were in full Spring ...”
……..music…………………………….
Lorena: “Juani: the thing is that moreover the strawberries are already ......”
Juani: “They are just right, because they are already red, ripe ... are finished, as you can see ... until the end ... they are completely ....”
Lorena: “How do you know, for example; how do you know that the strauberry can be pulled up, which is already just righ?”
Juani: “Because this is totally red and , however, there are other , as for example....”
Lorena: “All these are away……..When these will be already finished?”
Juani: “These are, practically, three or four weeks away”
Lorena: “How is it caught, pulling the……? the branch ..”
Juani: “You catch it….and bend it”
Lorena: “And I bend it…so…Hey…, what a nice….!”
Juani: “And it has a very strong smell and, moreover, you can try .... they are too sweet”
………music…………….
Lorena: “Hey, Manuel: What I see is that, in the field, there are more and more young people .......”
Manuel (Another farmer): “It is what we have, here, now. The construction has fallen ...”
Lorena: “And the price….., are they been sold…..?”
Manuel: “The price is….a bargain…..It has no price, to date that we are…., very cheap”
Lorena: “It is being sold very cheap…, I mean, you get very little from it…”
Manuel: “Right now, it does not have any benefit ... inside out, loss”
Lorena: “Everybody are surprised……., when they see strawberries ... ...”
Manuel: “Of course, it is that it has no sale also for that: because they say that it is not strawberry time”
Lorena: “How to keep the strawberry ... in the fridge ..... try to avoid, as far as possible ... right?”
The owner: “Keep it, in the fridge, and avoid, as far as possible, that cold give it directly ... I recommend you put the little plastic, to strawberries, into the bowl or plate, inside the refrigerator and, so, we got last longer and that the quality of this strawberry is preserved”
Lorena: “How is it better to eat”
Now you can read on the image: THEY ARE EXPECTING A PRODUCTION OF 500 TONS
Juani: “Well, but the truth is that, catched directly from the bush, is how strawberry has the most intense flavor”
Lorena: “So, so, so”
Juani: “Yes……… Then, there are many people, who like minced with sugar, with cream, in beaten is very good….”
Lorena: “And we are going to come to Anne´s house, who is a neighbour of Conil, to know how strawberries are eaten, here, in this land...... Hello ..., Ana, look at what a box .....”
Ana: “I like it with sugar……….and without sugar…………………………………………”
Lorena: “Of course…, it is that you are not a very lover of cream, because you say that it has such a flavor ....”
Ana: “Yes .... because cream ... I am not used to cream ... I like more.....”
Lorena: “With the taste that it has ....... ie, you cut them in little slices .... And now?”
Ana: “And now I pour sugar………………..Taste it…”
Lorena: “What a good……..”
Ana: “This is good, very sweet ......, it does not need .. sugar, it is also good without sugar…”
Well, the video is finished. I hope that you have liked it and that you can come to Conil, in Costa de la Luz (Cádiz), to taste these strawberries.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
