0 commentsIn today’s market, where consumers are increasingly attentive to the quality and sustainability of the products they purchase, offering culinary excellence can make a significant difference. We are a company from the Marche region, dedicated to producing high-quality sottoli, vegetables, antipasti, pestos, and olives.
Quality in the Marche Region
Located in the heart of Italy, in Matelica, our company has deep roots in the Marche region, known worldwide for its natural beauty and culinary traditions. For our sottoli, we use fresh ingredients, grown with care and passion. This means prioritizing suppliers and agricultural businesses that respect workers’ rights. That’s why our sottoli are worth more.
In a world, as demonstrated by some of today’s most harrowing news stories, that often overlooks workers’ rights, we are committed to ensuring that the people we collaborate with are respected and valued in their work. We believe that only in this way can quality products be born and only by doing so can we hope to make a positive impact on the world.
This is why we do not compromise on the value of our products. Investing in suppliers who respect human rights and work sustainably is an ethical and conscious choice that reflects our mission to promote responsible food production.
Sustainability at the Core of Our Work
We have adopted environmentally friendly agricultural practices, reducing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and use eco-friendly and recyclable packaging, minimizing our environmental impact. For our production processes at our facility, we utilize renewable energy that powers our activities.
Equal Rights and Human Capital Valuation
Our company is not only a producer of culinary excellence but also a promoter of equal rights. We believe that a company’s success is linked to the well-being of its employees. We guarantee fair working conditions, promote inclusion, and value the skills of every individual, regardless of gender. 80% of our workforce is composed of women who hold key roles in every stage of production.
Our sottoli are the result of a meticulous process that values every ingredient. Vegetables, harvested at peak ripeness, are processed within hours to preserve their freshness and nutrients. Hand-grilled, marinated in oil, and enriched with local aromatic herbs, they offer an authentic and unparalleled taste.
A Tradition We’re Proud To Uphold
Our vegetables and antipasti represent Italian culinary tradition. From artichokes to eggplants, each product is prepared following traditional recipes that enhance the natural flavor of the ingredients. Our antipasti are perfect for enriching any table, offering a gastronomic experience that evokes the genuine flavors of the past.
Our pestos are made with the highest quality ingredients. Each jar contains an explosion of flavors that can transform a simple pasta dish or a freshly grilled bruschetta into a delicacy. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation make the difference, offering a final product that is a true masterpiece of Italian cuisine.
Olives: Our Greatest Classic
Our sottoli olives, selected and processed using traditional methods, are a classic that should not be missing from any pantry. Perfect as an aperitif or to enhance salads and meat dishes, our olives represent the best of the Marche’s olive tradition.
Choosing our products means choosing quality, sustainability, and respect for people. Each jar of sottoli, each jar of pesto, and each pack of olives embodies our commitment to excellence and our love for the land we live in and want to cherish.
