Our selection | The aspect that most affected us by the Contadini is the link with the territory and the tradition. The vegetables are all produced in the farm, with integrated production, in the fields near the plant, in the province of Lecce in Puglia. The vegetables are dried to the sun on the gratings as tradition is expected, it is an ancient and almost completely abandoned practice because it is difficult and delicate but offers an unmatched organoleptic result. |

The producer
I Contadini - Ugento (LE) - Apulia
Why we chose them
"I Contadini " farm, run today by the third generation, has been founded in one of the most suitable areas for the cultivation of vegetables, in
Apulia,
more exactly in Salento, the so-called "land of sun, sea and wind". The fantastic climate of this land, warmed by sun all over the year, together
with
fertile ground structure and positive sea influence, is perfect to obtain excellent tomatoes and all kind of vegetables.
An "integrated production" technique is applied to cultivate more than 20 hectares of open fields vegetables: long tomatoes, cherry tomatoes,
eggplants, courgettes, sweet and hot peppers, artichokes. Vegetables are naturally dried up by the sun of Salento, so that all the water in excess is
taken away and the product is preserved in its organoleptic and nutritive qualities.
Drying vegetables in the sun is a very ancient art, today almost totally abandoned; even though difficult and delicate, it allows to obtain an absolute
unique organoleptic result: softness of pulp, preservation of vitamins, proteins and mineral salts, and a special harmonic flavour which is by far
more
recognizable.
Short production chain and short label: Edoardo Trentin, with his brothers, takes care of the all process, from cultivation to packaging in olive oil,
without preservatives
