Jam "Susine di Montepulciano" Bio Frateria San Benedetto

Frateria San Benedetto

The Frateria San benedetto stands in the Sienese countryside linking Montepulciano to Chianciano Terme; it has ancient origins, it was used by the Romans as a ‘rest-home’ during long journeys. Today it has been completely restructured and has undergone innovations that have ensured a good development of the farm itself; in addition to having its own agriturismo, the farm is mainly involved in the organic cultivation of fruit trees, in particular the local wild plum, known as ‘la Coscia Di Monaca’ throughout Tuscany and beyond. Their fruit is also used to make traditional jams without the addition of sugar or additives, guaranteeing a healthy and tasty product to take straight to your table.Unlike the consortium, the certaldo onion has very ancient origins, it was in fact already mentioned by Boccaccio in the famous Decameron for its taste and extraordinary characteristics.
The producers’ consortium acts as guarantor and guardian for the preservation and continuation of this excellence, also acting as custodian of the onion seeds (in the two varieties Vernina and Statina) and are also registered with the region as such.
