The mountain sides are covered in chestnut trees which produce the renowned delicious Florentine sweet chestnut, that thanks to its outstanding quality has been awarded the status “Marrone del Mugello IGP”. By means of traditional drying-houses we obtain dried chestnuts, which once ground become sweet chestnut flour with extraordinary organoleptic properties.

On the southern slope and along the ridge, at some 500 metres above sea level, we have a small olive grove whence we produce deeply scented and gently tasting extra virgin olive oil.

Along the field borders and in the orchard in front and above the house we have kept the old fruit trees and berry bushes – raspberries, bilberries, redcurrants, gooseberries – which we turn into limited amounts of delicious fruit preserves, mostly used for the breakfasts that we serve to our guests in the farm accommodation.

On a slightly elevated position above the house is a vegetable garden, whose crops are served fresh our guests’ dinners or turned into wholesome traditional preserves for the winter months.

In the southern part of our estate we have placed our bees, providing us with excellent honey that we pot on the premises and serve for breakfast and dinner.

We turn most of our home grown produce into delicious typical dishes for our guests: tagliatelle, tortelli, ravioli, sweet and salted pastries, cakes and cookies that our guests may appreciate for breakfast and dinner and also buy from our shop to take back home a taste of our wholesome genuine produce.

We wish to remind you that only certified farms inspected by one of the verification agencies appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture qualify for labelling their products as “da agricoltura biologica” (from an organic farm).
Our farm is certified by the CCPB Consortium from Bologna (www.ccpb.it).
