Divide the dough in two and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. Sprinkle a rolling pin and a sheet of baking paper with flour. Roll out the dough evenly and thinly into 2 large rectangles. Brush with a thin layer of olive oil and prick with a fork. Cut into pieces if necessary. Sprinkle with fleur de sel. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown.

Cockburn’s Port

WHAT A TIME TO BE A PORT
It’s time to take port off its pedestal.
No more standing on ceremony, we’re here to start some new traditions.
So forget formality. There’s fun to be had.
Long summer days outdoors. We’ll drink to that.
Cosy winter nights in. Pass the port in any direction.
Distinctive, delicious and just special enough, this is port’s time.
And what a time it is.
