Vegetable preserves – Az. agr. Radici – Loro Ciuffenna
Our company, located on the slopes of Pratomagno, in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany, is made up of different plots of land that develop between 300 and 1300 meters above sea level. This physical situation allows us to obtain a wide range of products. Thus, we cultivate the Mediterranean species (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers) at 300 meters above sea level, close to the vines and the olive trees, on the Loro Ciuffenna plateau, while in the mountains we collect the berries and chestnuts, as well as a good part of the fruit we use for our jams.
While dedicating to the cultivation of the land a large part of our time, we have chosen to pay special attention to the processing sector because we think that, currently, people who work have less and less time to cook dishes, that require a long and accurate processing. Therefore, putting to fruition years of experience in the field of biological agriculture and the transformation of agricultural products, we have created a series of specialties that are typical of our region and our mountain and have the characteristic of recipes, obtained from the combination of tastes and flavors, often forgotten. Each of our products has its own flavor, its own personality, as it is followed by us in every phase of processing. We believe that the simplicity of the processing methods and the genuineness of the ingredients allow us to conquer and maintain the trust and respect of our customers. The products do not contain meat, cheese or milk products, thickeners, colorings or preservatives; only extra virgin olive oil is used; we start only with fresh and seasonal raw materials, harvested and processed within 2/3 days.
Finally, two words on the photo that we took as a symbol of our company and that, hopefully, can make our products recognize at first sight: they are our children, to which we must leave a better world of the one in which we live, a world that takes the best from the past to rediscover our roots. And it is on the union of these two values, our "Roots", the past and our children, the future, that we work to grow and improve our company, respecting men and the environment, and for continue to offer high quality products.
