oils from Abruzzo, led by Bernard and his wife Jan.

Bernard said: “We fell in love with Abruzzo and bought an apartment within the walls of the ancient city of Penne six years ago.
“I hope my photographs of this beautiful area will encourage people from Lancashire to go and see a part of Italy far from the tourist hotspots,” he said.
Sarah Lee and Sara Mumby run the deli and its upstairs foto galleria and have just returned from a working holiday in Abruzzo with Jan and Bernard.
Sarah said: “We were really taken by the place and Bernard has captured its essence with this evocative exhibition. It’s like being back in Italy.
The pictures include ones of the huge mountain Gran Sasso which rises behind Penne.
Gran Sasso lends its name to an olive oil people will get the chance to taste on Saturday 12 October which has won the five leaf award of excellence.
Sara said: “Anyone interested in a taste of Abruzzo and hearing more about the region should call on (01282) 866008 for a ticket or pop into the deli and coffee shop at 40 Albert Road Colne.
The tasting includes a garlic infused olive oil called L’Assassino – or The Assassin, and a hot chilli infused oil called L’Inferno as well as high quality balsamic vinegars from Modena.
Tickets include a glass of sparkling Prosecco, artisan bread and other home-made Italian snacks.
