LOCAL INGREDIENTS AND SEASONAL RECIPES

VALUING LAND, TRADITION AND CLOSE CONNECTION BETWEEN FARMING AND COOKING

We know how to grow excellent food and we believe in promoting our local area and its small-scale artisanal productions.

That's why, in addition to products from our farm, we use local typical products like Badoere white asparagus and olive oil from the Euganean Hills. We also love the Treviso red radicchio and Castelfranco variegated radicchio, Lamon beans, and Asiago and Grana Padano cheese. Furthermore, we support Slow Food Presidia, including White Pearl Corn and Grumolo delle Abbadesse Rice.

We collaborate with other voluntary producers, the Slow Food Castellana chapter, and Prof. Renato Ballan to revive the ancient variety of Mais Cinquantino della Castellana, a tasty yellow corn.

GROWING AND RAISING

ANCIENT APPLES, RARE POULTRY BREEDS, AND HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES

We raise open-range animals (Paduan chickens, ducks and royal ducks, rabbits, chickens, and capons) with great care for their diet. This ensures we always have fresh, genuine, and incredibly fresh eggs, which we use for making pastries and homemade pasta.

Our garden provides us with fragrant, seasonal vegetables both in summer and winter. Using the fruit from our trees, we prepare tasty jams, mustards, and syrups that we use to prepare and pair dishes and beverages. We transform our products and highlight their various varieties, respecting seasons and time. The earth's generosity varies from year to year, and we uphold the natural rhythms and results of our crops, without seeking taste standardization.

We avoid synthetic chemical products and make use of leftovers as much as possible to minimize waste, thus promoting a circular economy. We cultivate friendships and networks among food producers and artisans, knowing they do excellent work and that their products are truly inspiring.

We enjoy sharing the story behind everything you eat, whether it's for a reservation dinner, an event, or your own pantry. We guarantee transparency, flavor, beauty, and biodiversity.
