Open-Faced Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Deutsch: Offenes Schinken-Käse-Sandwich / Español: Sándwich de jamón y Queso abierto / Português: Sanduíche aberto de presunto e queijo / Français: Sandwich ouvert au Jambon et fromage / Italiano: Panino aperto con prosciutto e formaggio

An Open-Faced Ham and Cheese Sandwich in the food context refers to a type of sandwich where a single slice of bread serves as the base for layered ingredients, in this case, ham and cheese, without a top slice of bread covering it. This dish is distinguished by its presentation and the way it is consumed, often with utensils rather than being eaten by hand like traditional sandwiches. The open-faced nature allows for more creative topping arrangements, and the cheese is typically melted under a broiler or grill, resulting in a warm, gooey texture that complements the savory ham.

Commandaria

Commandaria refers to the legendary wine from Cyprus. Its color is warm, golden to ruby, its aroma is complex and passionate, its taste is sweet, its aftertaste is everlasting. Commandaria wine is old and unique that Cypriots traded it for centuries to the most demanding consumers of the known world and which other winemakers attempted to copy on many occasions. Commandaria wine carries with it the centuries old culture of the Cypriot rural society and is closely tied to the commercial activities of the island’s traders who loaded it on ships for export to the most demanding European markets of the time. Commandaria thrived during the Middle Ages, suffered under the dark period of the Ottoman rule, became a forgotten wine during the latter part of the 20th century but survived, remaining unspoiled by all foreign cultural influences, standing out today as the flagship of our vine and wine heritage. Commandaria as a "legendary-wine" was a statement verified by the selection of vintage 1223 among the top ten wines of the past 1,000 years. The competition, BBC – one thousand years best wine competition, characterized Commandaria as "a powerful sweet wine from Cyprus" that won the first wine competition, La Bataille des Vins, organised by the French king, Philip Augustus. Commandaria is made from the blend of two indigenous varieties, Mavro and Xynisteri and it is by no chance that only these varieties are suitable for its making. Commandaria is a sweet, desert wine, characterized by a high alcoholic content of 15% and a notable richness in natural sugars derived exclusively from the grapes used. The critical factor in the serving of Commandaria is temperature. Commandaria brings out all its aroma and flavour when drunk well chilled at 6 - 9°C. Within this temperature range, ideal for most dessert wines, Commandaria reveals all its merits and at the same time conceals any likely "flaws", such as the presence of a high alcohol content and its volatile acidity which are more easily discernible when the wine is served at temperatures exceeding 9 - 10°C. Like all sweet wines, Commandaria is served in small stemmed glasses with a comparatively short stem and a long cup, with inwardly sloping sides to retain the wine’s rich bouquet.
