Products of ancient values
Our products have an ancient wisdom behind them. We cultivate greens and vegetables from variety of autochthonous seeds, respecting soil and seasons cycles, according to the primordial laws of production.
Starting from our garden, we ensure km zero quality raw material, processed by natural and sustainable methods, according to what we have learned from the farming culture that belongs to us.
The soil is the mother that we cultivate by hand, trying every day to find out her changing needs, to produce better raw materials and to process more and more tasty and nutritious final products.
Searching for ancient ecotypes
Palomonte’s “spiert broccoli”, sun dried tomatoes, millefoglie escarole, the goat horn pepper, white figs and mulberry. These are just a few of the local varieties that we use for our preparations.
This is our pledge for the promotion of the biodiversity of the territory, too, growing crops in natural and healthy environments, without using greenhouses and other intensive cultivation methods.
Thanks to crop rotation, spontaneous herbs grow in our fields: one of the most attached varieties to our soil is borage, that we process following our recipes.
Our laboratory into the kitchen garden
Into our farm, a few meters away from the cultures in open field, we’ve set up our artisanal laboratory in which our vegetables and fruit are immediately processed after being collected, respecting our recipes. It’s like one big kitchen into our garden!
Certified according to all sanitary regulations, we guarantee km zero products by our laboratory, with the aim of preserving the environment and enhancing biodiversity of our land. The whole collecting phase, the washing, husking, packaging and labeling are performed manually by young women of the country, properly trained and coordinated.
An all – women job, competent, wise and passionate. You can find all our products’ craftmanship, in the passionate “handmade”, that is what accompanies the whole productive process. Products’ conservation is 100% natural, we only use natural preservatives, for example: whole salt, lemon juice, vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
The transformation and the seasons’ cycle
Vegan mayonnaise, preserved tomatoes, all the vegetables in oil and our Casa’ creations, they follow the seasonal raw material and are made according to our recipes.
Summer is the perfect time for tomatoes, zucchini and eggplants; in the late winter we have “spiert” broccoli; in winter there is escarole, cauliflower; in spring a small variety of artichokes grows, and so on.
Every vegetable develops at its best, especially from the nutritional point of view, by following the natural seasons’ succession, without the extensive/intensive crop forcing.
For this precise reason, it may be possible – as an example – that in spring, pumpkins’ mayonnaise should not be available. Our products are limited to what our kitchen garden gives us, and pumpkins are growing in autumn, for excellence!
