Tomatoes, Olive Oil, Bread and Salt

It's the perfect time of the year for tomatoes. The locally grown ones are in season and absolutely delicious. Here's one way to enjoy them:

Take a local heirloom tomato, cut it in two, rub it on a piece of good Tuscan bread (e.g. from Pane e Formaggio), sprinkle a bit of olive oil on (the best you have which will be extra virgin of course!) and add salt to taste. A perfect treat: quick, easy and delicious.
