Pistoia Traditional Products, The Untamed Flavors of the Tuscan Apennines
Welcome to the Pistoia Mountains, a region of rugged peaks and deep valleys stretching from the historic city of Pistoia to the crest of the Apennines that borders Emilia Romagna. This is the home of Abetone, Tuscany’s most iconic mountain destination, where the landscape transitions into an impervious, wild terrain defined by a distinct continental climate. This unique environment has shaped a culinary tradition that is as hardy and authentic as the mountains themselves. From the dense, shaded woodlands to the high-altitude pastures, our collection celebrates the intense and natural flavors that only this high-altitude region can produce.
The Gastronomic Wealth of the High Mountains
Life in the Pistoia Mountains is intimately linked to the rhythms of the forest and the traditions of small-scale mountain farming. Our selection focuses on the legendary products that have been harvested and crafted here for generations:
-
Porcini Mushrooms: The pride of our woods. Thanks to the favorable microclimate of the Apennines, these mushrooms are renowned for their firm texture and deep, earthy aroma, making them the ultimate addition to any gourmet dish.
-
Wild Blueberries: Harvested in the pristine areas of the high mountains, these berries are small, flavorful, and incredibly rich in antioxidants, representing the sweet, wild soul of the Pistoia peaks.
-
Raw Milk Pecorino Cheese: Crafted following ancient transhumance traditions, this cheese captures the essence of the high-altitude pastures. The use of raw milk preserves the complex flora of the mountain grasses, resulting in a flavor profile that is bold, persistent, and entirely unique.
-
Mountain Traditions: Every product reflects the history of a territory that has always relied on its own resources, promoting a diet that is healthy, seasonal, and rooted in the land.

Bio Wild Blueberries Jam Bio Il Baggiolo
Sweet and fresh, ideal for breackfast
Il Baggiolo
Baggiolo produces juices, compotes and fruit-based sauces at an altitude of 1400 metres. Living above 1000m altitude means a change of perspective. Respect for nature, passion for the land, the quest for a healthy life and natural food are feelings that are stronger, more tenacious in the mountains. In Abetone, the woods and snow-capped peaks tell of great ski champions, but in the high-altitude heaths, the undisputed protagonist of the stories is the wild bilberry, which has always been harvested here in large quantities. Thus began the story of Baggiolo, at 1400 metres above sea level, with Leandro and Marilena who, in the 1980s, opened a small workshop to process the fruits of the undergrowth. Production of the first jams and juices began, following recipes handed down from generation to generation. Only the best raw materials have always been chosen, processed by skilful hands that know how to give the right spreadability to the jams, making them easy to spread on bread.
