| Curiosity | Borgoluce is a 1200 hectars estate owned by Collalto family since the 12th century: pastures, woodlands, farms, arable fields, vineyards, orchards, canals, mills, dairies. In the past centuries this variety was needed to produce within the estate all the products necessary for daylife... a tradition that was maintained and that today takes the name of "circular economy" |
| Our selection | We like these crackers because they are produced with Biancoperla corn, a variety of corn that has been defended thaks to the passion of some producers like Tenuta Borgoluce and today has become a Slow Food Presidia |
| Suggestions | These crackers combine perfectly with cured meat and cheeses |

Why we chose them
Eco-sustainability is a word with many meanings: attention, care, respect for natural resources. At Borgoluce, eco-sustainability is perceived as an
asset. Borgoluce is an estate with 1,220 hectares, held by Collalto family since the XII century. An intact environment made of pastures,
woodlands,
farms, arable fields, vineyards, orchards, canals, mills, dairies. In past, this variety enabled the family to produce everything necessary for daily life.
Today, this tradition remains: it is called biodiversity. Environmental responsibility pervades every activity and is expressed in the use of renewable
sources for the agro-energy production. The energy comes from the by-products of woodlands, animal farms and plantations. Wood is burned by a
biomass boiler, while a biodigester transforms animal dung and cereal silage into biogas, producing the electric energy used in the farm and the
thermal energy that heats the buffalo sheds. Giuliana, Ninni and Caterina Collalto with her mother Trinidad and the husband of Caterina, Ludovico
Giustiniani are committed to increase the value of this land, a unique heritage in Veneto
