Slow food: the products of Tuscan tradition

Have you ever heard of Slow Food?

This movement that started in Italy in the 1980s aims to protect traditional food culture, promote biodiversity, environmental sustainability and the quality of the food we consume. At a time when we are often in a hurry and get overwhelmed by stress, embracing the principles of Slow Food can be an important turning point for our well-being and that of the environment;The selection of Tuscan Slow Food products on the site is truly vast and each one deserves a special mention. In addition to the Biroldo della Garfagnana and the Biscotti salati di grano antico di Roccalbegna, you will also find the Grated mullet roea prized ingredient used to enrich pasta and rice dishes, and the Fagiolo Di Sorana IGP, which has been recognised as a Slow Food Presidium for its historical and culinary value. The list continues with thePecorino semistagionato a latte crudo, a cheese with an intense flavour, and the Prosciutto del Casentino, a real treat for meat lovers;

Each product tells a story, a tradition and a territory that is worth getting to know and appreciating. The Slow Food is therefore an opportunity to rediscover the gastronomic heritage of our land and to make conscious choices about the food we bring to the table. Embracing this movement means supporting biodiversity, small local producers, reducing environmental impact and enjoying quality food;Slow Food is much more than just a culinary trend, it is a true lifestyle that encourages us to slow down and appreciate each and every bite, to become aware of what we put on our plates and to value local and artisanal products. Products include the Biroldo della Garfagnana, a typical cured meat from this region that has been recognised as a 'Slow Food Presidium'.

The term 'Presidium' indicates a virtuous production reality that respects local traditions and aspects of environmental sustainability. Biroldo della Garfagnana encompasses authentic flavours, thanks to the use of high quality pork meat and the use of spices and aromas that make this cured meat a true gastronomic treasure. Another product are the Salted ancient wheat biscuits from Roccalbegna.

These biscuits are made using whole wheat flours from cereals grown in the Tuscan countryside. Each bite is a discovery of unique and authentic flavours, capable of taking us back in time and making us appreciate the extraordinary diversity of our land;We therefore invite you to take the time to explore the world of Slow Food and begin your journey towards a more conscious culinary experience;
