Mortadella di Prato "Slow Food Presidium"
The typical flavor of ‘Mortadella di Prato’ is given by the contrast between the warm and pungent note of the spices, garlic and sea salt, and the sweet and delicate one of the alkermes. The aroma is penetrating, spicy with a hint of alkermes from the first impact. Its specificity is also reinforced by the choice of cuts of meat used, the traditional and consolidated processing and the particularity of the ingredients, characteristics that make it unique in the Italian gastronomic panorama. Another particular aspect is that cooking is preceded by stewing, which must take place in dedicated premises that ensure progressively decreasing temperatures and increasing humidity, so as to ensure prolonged and gradual drying of the product.

From the entry of the raw materials to the production of the finished product, the Salumificio Conti encompasses all the production phases, carried out with many years of experience, responding to the ever-increasing demands in terms of both quantity and quality.

Chiaverini
In 1928, the young Chiaverini brothers decided to open a small company for the production of jams and preserves, just outside the walls of Florence.
After a few years, the Chiaverini brothers' jams were not only in demand in grocery shops: 5 kg jars were introduced to meet the demands of pastry shops as well. Success increased production; the large pots created to cook fruit and sugar soon gave way to kettles designed by the founders themselves, in order to double production.
Attention to market trends and orientations then led Fratelli Chiaverini to start producing jams and marmalades with organically grown fruit.

Antonio Mattei
Antonio Mattei was a 19th-century Florentine confectioner, famous for creating one of Italy's most renowned biscuits: the Prato biscuit, or cantuccio. In 1858, Antonio inherited the family pastry shop and began experimenting with new recipes, including that of cantucci. These biscuits, made from flour, eggs, sugar, almonds and pine nuts, were baked twice to make them crispy and long-lasting, ideal for storage during long sea voyages. Antonio Mattei's biscuit factory soon became famous regionally and nationally, so much so that in 1895 it was chosen to represent Tuscany at the International Exhibition in Bordeaux. Since then, the Prato biscuit has become a symbol of Tuscan cuisine and one of the best-loved sweets in Italy and abroad.

Trebbiano IGT Capezzana, Tasting notes:
It shows a straw yellow color and nuances of gold. To the nose almond, yellow flowers of the field, vanilla are the most present notes. To the palate it is intense, harmonic with delicate tannins. Elegant, ethereal and balanced, with a complex and persistent aftertaste.
Trebbiano is the novelty and the bet of the company; produced for the first time in 2000 with the aim of relaunching the Trebbiano grape in Tuscany. From a mass selection, a short pruning, a severe green harvest, and a late harvest, Capezzana obtains a very rich must, which ferments and ages in tonneaux, acquires elegant perfumes, and lends itself to long aging. If you’re looking for the magic formula which makes their wines so special, you’ll find it in the great diversity of each vineyard’s soil and orientation that create extreme and fantastic biodiversity. To match the Trebbiano Capezzana, we suggest white meat or shellfish.
