The Care in the Choice

The quality of the ingredients is essential to achieve excellence in the result

Every ingredient has been selected with the utmost care, choosing producers one by one and seeking only products of excellence for a truly unique taste experience. Care and intransigence are our guidelines. Through chocolate, we want to take a real journey through places and ancient knowledge because, as we know, what we eat is first and foremost the result of History, which has brought people together, which has imported food from one part of the world to another, turning what came from afar into tradition. In the products of the earth there is the history of humanity. Food is an opportunity to meet, it is the synthesis of what we have been, what we are waiting to build and what we will be through an exciting and continuous search, whose only limit is imagination.

  • ALBICOCCA VALLEGGIA. Sulla costa della Riviera di Ponente fra Loano e Varazze, si coltivano le albicocche Valleggia o valleggine. Di piccola dimensione, la loro buccia è sottile e picchettata e il loro sapore è intenso e inconfondibile.

    APRICOT FROM VALLEGGIA

  • Dopo alcuni decenni di abbandono, il FAI - Fondo Ambiente per l'Italia - ha recuperato l'antico agrumeto che sorge nella piccola valle della Kolymbethra, la piscina della potente città di Akràgas, adiacente alla Valle dei Templi di Agrigento e risalente al VI Sec. a.C. Impiantato nella prima metà del 700 utilizzando le varietà in uso in quel periodo, l’agrumeto produce una varietà di arance dette “ncannalatri”: ingannaladri. Infatti, il loro aspetto rustico caratterizzato da una forma irregolare, lascia credere di non essere degno di essere rubato.
