Extra virgin and organic. From olives harvested by hand in the territory of Vinci, homeland of the genius of Leonardo. Its green-gold colour proves that olives are harvested at their right point of maturity, while the slight opacity is a sign of wholesomeness and respect for the raw material. The best way to taste it? On a slice of toasted bread, in order to appreciate its aroma and taste fully.
Selected Italian wheat only, high quality gluten, natural drying at low temperature: this is how Spaghettoni are created. Bronze drawn, in full respect of quality and tradition, their peculiar rough surface is due to the manufacturing machinery - which they used in the 50s already - allowing the pasta to better absorb the sauce. Spaghettoni are exceptionally tasty. Can you smell the wheat?
Delicious, fragrant, with no preservatives and chemical additives. The extra jam by Pure Stagioni entails blackberries picked from July to September in the woods of the Florentine area. They are processed immediately, in order to preserve their fragrance and taste. 100% natural, 86% fruit, rich in vitamins and antioxidants. The perfect choice for a sweet or a salted break!
Fragrant, fluffy, intense. The Brutti ma Buoni biscuits with Pistachio (namely Ugly but Good) from Biscottificio Leonardo take shape in the very heart of Florence. The bakery overlooks the Sant’Ambrogio Market and has been running for over a century. Their recipe is kept secret: all what we know is that almonds and first choice pistachio are added to the sourdough dough: a touch of sweetness and fragrance. Delicious eaten alone - and not ugly at all - they are extraordinary paired with a good vin santo.
Crispy, tempting, tasty. The Croccantella was born in a historical farm, where cattle are all born in site and fed with organically grown fodder. With this sustainable milk they produce the Gran Mugello Ubaldino, a cheese matured in a cave for 12 to 24 months, which ensures the Croccantella a unique taste. Even more special in combination with a full-bodied red wine.
Sweet, tasty, healthy. In the Mugello territory chestnut trees have been offering their most precious fruit for centuries: marroni (chestnuts). Carefully picked and selected twice - in the chestnut grove and after drying to testify this millennial culture - PGI marroni from Mugello are the undisputed protagonists of this cream refined with brown sugar and vanilla berries only. The perfect choice for a healthy breakfast.
Intense, flavoured, unmissable. The “10+1” is a tribute to the tradition of the Italian espresso. The blend embraces ten varieties of Arabica coffee in beans of the highest quality and a variant of the Robusta type, which ensures a velvety and persistent taste. Thanks to the experience and culture of coffee that indissolubly interlace the scented beans to this historical roasting. An irresistible fragrance, a unique aroma.
Creamy, tasty, precious. The Zolfino bean is grown, harvested and packaged exclusively in this territory. The selection of the seeds is carried out by hand to guarantee its authenticity. The creaminess of the Zolfino bean is unmistakable, along with its ability to withstand cooking. Its skin is extra thin - almost invisible - and it is highly digestible. As a valuable pairing for a tasty dish it guarantees a culinary experience of maximum enjoyment!
This traditional, high-fermentation beer is produced and bottled in Tavernelle, on the outskirts of Florence. Its essence is the balance between the fragrance of malts and the intensity of hops. Light and fresh, delicious on every occasion.
Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc. The Chianti DOCG from Fattoria Montereggi originates from these wine varietals. Grapevines spread on the hills surrounding Fiesole, the Mons Regis (Mount of the King) where the farm finds place and there, almost a century ago, the production of wine begun. Fresh and juicy, the bright ruby red colour of this Chianti is mesmerizing. At least as the taste is.
Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance. It is also the place where the Italian language began to grow its roots and flourished in Dante’s work: it is a land of beauty and culture. In the Florence Box L you will discover a land rich of tastiness, unique and special.
From the streets of central Florence, the tradition of the artisan production can be found in a package of salty biscuits flavoured with rosemary and sage. Between an old biscuit factory producing exaggeratedly good pistachio biscuits and a historic roasting plant producing artisanal coffee, you end up getting lost in the green. In the part of Firenze Castello, in search of brambles, we can pick juicy fruits that were already used in Renaissance recipes for jams.
The path continues and we are caressed by the hills of Vinci, those where Leonardo walked, on which olive groves stretch as far as the eye can see, and then we move a little further south and discover a beer that pays homage to the four colours of historic Florentine football. Little by little we enter an area rich in excellence: here is Chianti, where we are greeted by tales of ancient pasta makers.
We are only halfway through the journey through the goodness of Florence and its territory…
It is time to explore the crags of the Valdarno, said to be the backdrop to the Mona Lisa, among fields tended to perfection by the hand of man and dedicated to a bean of truly magical goodness, until we find ourselves in the Mugello valley, discovering the sweet and natural flavour of the marrone, even better than a chestnut!
It is time to head back towards Florence. From the top of the hills we catch a glimpse of Brunelleschi’s dome, Giotto’s bell tower and the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It is from the hill of Fiesole that we enjoy this panorama while holding a glass of red wine produced in a local vineyard.
We toast to Florence and all it has to offer our eyes and our mouths. It’s really true: the Florence Box is full of tasty goodness!
