TWIST Host Mini Tilt is the perfect solution for aerating your wine wherever you are. At home, with friends and even on the road! Tilt, oxygenate and store!

HOW TO USE THE MINI TILT -Apply the Mini Tilt to your bottle, pour and ... close the cork! -As well as aerating the wine, you can preserve it with a minimum of effort and preserve all its qualities. Like the Tilt, the Mini Tilt allows you to choose the oxygenation best suited to your wine: the more you tilt, the more you oxygenate.

Weak inclination (0-45°) = light aeration Moderate inclination (30-60°) = normal aeration Strong inclination (45-90°) = strong aeration

OXYGENATES IN THE RIGHT WAY

Correct aeration of wine softens tannins and allows aromas to be enhanced. Every wine needs the correct amount of oxygen to express its full potential. Generally speaking, the rule applies that an ageing wine that is still young needs more oxygenation in order to be able to release all its aromas to the full; an aged wine, on the other hand, needs to be oxygenated more gently so that it retains the residual fruity notes and vigour that it has endured during the ageing process.

TWIST Host Tilt The more you tilt, the more you oxygenate. -With Tilt you can aerate your wine glass instantly.

Thanks to Bernoulli's principle, you regulate the oxygenation according to the tilt at which you pour: weak tilt (0-45°) = light aeration moderate tilt (30-60°) = normal aeration strong tilt (45-90°) = strong aeration

HOW TO USE THE TILT

Apply the Tilt to the neck of your bottle and pour by adjusting the tilt according to how much you want to oxygenate your wine. Once poured, remove the Tilt and sip in relaxation.

Cookies the new a cookie gun from Imperia has arrived. The product is completely made of steel, easy to use and very handy. With Imperia "Cookies" you can make cookies of many different shapes and not only that; in fact, in addition to the 14 disks/shapes it also comes with 4 nozzles that allow you to decorate cakes and fill them.

It can be said that with natural ingredients and imagination many cookies can be invented. Like all Imperia brand products, it is 100 percent made in Italy.

The kit consists of:

• 14 molds: Christmas tree, heart, butterfly, shamrock, helm, donut, snowdrop, petal, snowflake, primrose, daisy, sun, millerighe, smile.
• 4 spouts: filler, star, rectangle, crescent.

The long history of the cookie

It seems that the origin of cookies can be traced to Persia, as far back as the 7th century BC. Some historians assert instead that the first cookie was baked in ancient Rome. The earliest traces date back to texts attributable to Apicius, a Roman gourmet who lived in the 1st century AD, during the time of Tiberius.

The Middle Ages is the period in which there is the most evidence of products very similar to our cookies, including pan pepato, hard, crisp cookies, and the forerunners of the meringue. The cookie, as we know it today, is a French invention: in fact, in 14th-century Paris it was possible to buy tasty little wafers filled with fruit.

The word cookie comes from the Latin "biscoctus panis," bread baked twice, which becomes "biscuit" in English. In contrast, the term "cookie" has Dutch origins: in fact, it comes from the word "koekje," small or round cake, like the small pieces of dough that Dutch bakers used in their ovens to test the temperature. The first cookies also composed of butter and sugar entered the culinary scene in the 18th century. So many cookie recipes are found in the 19th century, when the availability of sugar, flour, and yeast became more continuous.

For example, the classic Cookie, or chocolate chip cookie was invented only in 1937 in Whitman, Massachusetts, USA. In Italy, for example, Savoiardi biscuits take their name from Savoy, part of the Savoy kingdom, and date back to the late 15th century, when they were created at the court of the Dukes of Savoy in honor of a visit by the King of France. The chocolate-coated cookie, on the other hand, only became popular after World War II.
