This mountain farm above Bussoleno in the Susa Valley cultivates vegetables, seasonal fruit and aromatic plants, and everything is processed by hand just hours after the harvest. In addition to organic techniques, it uses biodynamic and synergic agricultural methods to reduce water consumption. At the head of the business is Silvio Montesini, who has transformed his passion for the mountains, the land, cooking and genuine food products into this agri-organic project in the Parco Orsiera-Rocciavrè, at an altitude of 650 metres. In the small farmhouse where he lives, Silvio has installed a workshop, and on the land round it he has planted cherry, apple, and plum trees, berry bushes, vegetables and mountain potatoes mountain potatoes yellow and purple flesh. These are the ingredients that he uses to make his jams and preserves, sweet and sour condiments, garlic and parsley sauces, sage blueberry and raspberry liqueurs, Amaro Inverso (a blueberry digestif), grappas and genepìs.
