| Curiosity | I Contadini pepper pâté is made from fresh sweet red peppers, cultivated in the open field in May and harvested by hand between August and September. They are first washed, then selected, cut into strips and matured in salt for a short period. They are then washed again and sorted, then chopped with other Mediterranean vegetables and spices to obtain a delicious pâté, which is finally potted in extra virgin olive oil and sunflower oil |
| Our selection | The company "I Contadini" cultivates different varieties of vegetables on more than twenty hectares of land, which are then hand-processed from fresh into preserves and condiments without the use of any preservatives, but scrupulously following ancient recipes from Salento. All 'I Contadini' brand products are grown using the technique of integrated production in open fields. Harvesting is done by hand; an initial selection of vegetables is made on site, which are then loaded and transported immediately to the factory to be processed. Processing is done in strict accordance with Salento tradition, therefore the vegetables are dried under the Salento sun and salted by hand. Finally, also the packagind is handmade and it follows the tradition |
| Suggestions | Ideal for preparing bruschetta, delicious "friselline" or stuffing rich sandwiches. Also try it in an onion, carrot and celery mirepoix, in sautéed mussels, with tuna, in meat "alla pizzaiola", or as a flavour enhancer in pasta with tomato sauce. Excellent with whole-wheat pasta with pieces of sausage and cheese flakes |

The producer
I Contadini - Ugento (LE) - Apulia
Why we chose them
The Trentin family's story is one of tenacity and love for their land, Puglia. The I Contadini farm, now in its third generation, was founded in one of the
most suitable areas for growing vegetables, Puglia, more precisely in Ugento (LE), in one of the southernmost areas of Italy's "heel", in Salento. The
particular climatic conditions of this sun-kissed land, the composition of the soil and the influence of the sea allow for excellent vegetable production.
All stages of cultivation are carried out directly on the farm, from transplanting to harvesting: over 20 hectares of tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes,
peppers and artichokes are grown in open fields. Processing also takes place in the farm's facilities shortly after harvesting. An integrated farming
method has been adopted to ensure a product free of pesticide residues: before harvesting, analyses are carried out to check for product residues
and ensure the healthiness of the vegetables. Many of the vegetables harvested are dried in the sun on racks according to tradition. This is an
ancient practice that has now been almost completely abandoned because it is difficult and delicate, but it offers unparalleled results: soft pulp and
preservation of vitamins, proteins and mineral salts. What we like about this company is the combination of its connection to the land - reflected in
the name they have chosen, "I Contadini" (The Farmers) - and its entrepreneurial spirit, which translates the desire to showcase the gastronomic
heritage of a land rich in nature, traditions and hospitality into an ever-expanding range of products. Not only vegetables, but also other products that
reflect the gastronomic heritage of Salento, such as taralli, made with Senatore Cappelli durum wheat, boiled before baking, which in this case is
done twice, and containing white wine inside.
