Not far from our historic house and B&B in the heart of the Cilento National Park is Cristina Finamore′s farm, Le Valli, registered on the list of organic farmers since 2003, testifying to a type of agriculture that uses natural methods without the use of chemical products.
To certify this, vegetable crops are alternated, weeds are controlled biologically and the limitation of the use of organic manure has been chosen, despite the fact that it comes from a small flock of animals that grazes freely in the countryside.
This production method is the demonstration of how sustainable agriculture goes hand in hand with the protection of the environment and the enhancement of local traditions to bring high quality, genuine products with an authentic flavour to our tables.
The processing of fruit is a natural consequence of our philosophy. Preservative-free jams and marmalades are prepared with carefully selected and freshly-picked ripe fruit. Excellent both for breakfast and to accompany meat or cheese.
The tomato variety we grow from old seeds makes for a sweet puree that needs little cooking and is ideal for spaghetti dishes.
Our range of food includes biscuits baked with nuts harvested in August or with chocolate pralines, and figs stuffed with walnut kernels harvested in October and orange zest, all covered in a dark chocolate glaze.
