The production process
Chianti, with its Riserva variant, is one of Tuscany’s most iconic wines. The main grapes are Sangiovese, with possible additions of other authorized grape varieties. Vinification follows strict rules to obtain the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) designation. Maturation takes place in wooden barrels, giving the wine complexity and structure. Tuscan extra virgin olive oil is often produced from local cultivars such as Frantoio and Moraiolo. Olives are harvested by hand or by mechanical means and pressed within hours of picking. The cold process ensures the highest quality and preserves the fruity aromas and organoleptic characteristics of the oil. Tuscan jams are prepared with fresh seasonal fruit. After the fruit is cleaned and prepared, sugar and sometimes lemon juice is added for the right consistency and flavor. Cooking is done slowly to preserve the flavors of the fruit. Tuscan sauces are often made with high-quality local ingredients. Aglione sauce, for example, is enriched with Valdichiana garlic, giving it a unique flavor. Ragu di Chianina uses meat from Chianina, a renowned Tuscan breed of cattle, and is simmered with tomato, onion and herbs. Truffle butter is a Tuscan delicacy made by blending high-quality butter with pieces of black or white truffle. The production process involves the careful selection of truffles and careful processing to evenly distribute their aroma in the butter. Truffle mayonnaise is prepared by mixing fresh eggs, oil, mustard and vinegar, with the addition of chopped truffle or truffle-flavored oil. The quality of the ingredients is critical to ensure a creamy, flavor-packed mayonnaise. Truffle popcorn is a gourmet delicacy made by popping corn kernels in oil or butter, then topping with truffle-flavored powder or oil. This snack represents a combination of traditional and refined flavors. In conclusion, the production of these Tuscan products requires special attention to the quality of ingredients and a respect for local traditions.
Each product reflects the love of good food and the importance of preserving traditional recipes.
