On this mountain farm they use old natural techniques (such as plant-based mulching) and innovative technologies (controlled irrigation) to grow and process berry fruits (blueberries, raspberries, redcurrants, blackberries, strawberries, mulberries and so on) and vegetables. The produce is processed in the farm’s modern workshop with procedures that preserve its original color, flavor and sensory qualities. The farm produces compotes, classic (strawberry, cherry, forest fruits) but also in unusual flavors such as pear and chocolate and apple and licorice, and without added sugar (blueberry, peach, damson), as well as specialties such as ajet (garlic sauce) and rose petal preserve, sauces to accompany cheese – red berry fruit and blueberry to go with mature varieties, lavender jelly for fresh goat’s milk caprini – fruit juices and vegetable preserves, such as antipasto piemontese, mixed vegetables in tomato, eggplant in oil, and sweet and sour zucchini. In 2022 plans are in place to introduce dried products such as lime and lemon grass for infusions, dried blueberries and sun-dried cherry tomatoes. The farm has a shop in Borgiallo at Vicolo della Società Operaia 3, open in Saturday from 9am to 1pm or by appointment. Here you can also buy the products of other Masters of Taste such as Bottega dei Bombi (biscuits) and Mulino di Piova (flours).
