For our sons and the future of our planet we have taken the path of biological and ecological sustainability.
Our wheat, spelt and age-old olive trees are cultivated according to strictly organic techniques in order to harvest pasta, flour, emmer, legumes and EVO olive oil.
We produce a great portion of the needed energy without damaging the environment.
The family artist Luigi Emilio designed the registered trademark of our products, that have already conquered the market by purity lovers.
Our first produkt was BorgOLIO Monocultivar BIO olive oil, presented in the “Guida ai sapori e piaceri della Tuscia Etruria” and in two consecutive editions of 2018 and 2019 as well as in the “Guida Gambero Rosso 2018 – Oli d´Italia”, we have been awarded the international AIPO-prize in 2018.
After the success with our olive oil, we began to cultivate historical wheat varieties, which were intended for the production of our organic pasta.
Extra virgin olive oil of olive species like Leccino, Canino, Frantoio and Pendolino, centuries-old olive groves, are cultivated organically.
The estimation by “Gambero Rosso Oli d´Italia” in the section “The best extra virgin olive oils”:
“Perfectly harmonizing olive oil, pleasantly fruity, fresh note of wild herbs and wild flowers. On the palate there is a special note of bitter almond, artichoke heart, thistle and nettle, it is balanced, pleasantly spicy and not aggressive. “
“Senatore Cappelli” for the production of our homemade organic pasta.
For our Borgo Podernovo noodles we only take stoneground organic wheat flour, grown on the fields of our centuries-old farm around Bolsena lake.
Senatore Cappelli is a historical hard wheat that has never been crossed or modified with other varieties. It is also digestible and especially suitable for people with intolerances.
So far we have produced long and short wholemeal pasta of different shapes.
We are producing peeled spelt since September 2018. Spelt is the oldest grain in the world, rich in nutritional values. It satiates quickly, has a low blood sugar content and low-calories.
Einkorn wheat has the lowest gluten content of all types of wheat and is valued for its high protein and carotene content.
