A term that we like and fits us well: \u201cGastronomic Gardener<\/strong><\/span>\u201d, a combination of farmer and chef that makes us one of a kind, a travel companion from field to table.<\/p>

We wish to show you that all we need is already here. We just need to learn how to use it. We must respect nature, which provides us with everything.<\/p>

We wish to have you as our guests, to guide you on this challenging journey that truly goes from the field to the table. It can be slow, to respect the natural rhythms. When it rains, we need to wait for it to stop; when the sun is shining, we might get burnt. After we have harvested the fruits of our garden and realised how precious they are, we must not waste them, but rather strive to make the most of what we have.<\/p>

We wish that when you taste our products and close your eyes, it feels as if you were here, right here with us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Clean products<\/b><\/p>

\u201cWe firmly believe in transparency and quality. We carefully select our ingredients to ensure they are natural and fresh, avoiding artificial preservatives.

Grandma\u2019s recipes<\/b><\/p>

\u201cOur recipes evoke a time gone by, telling a story of family love and unwavering dedication. They are the culmination of culinary wisdom passed down through generations and of the passion our family has for food. For us, preserving these recipes is not merely about making food: it means honoring our history and upholding the values that have been handed down to us.\u201d<\/p>

Transparency<\/b><\/p>

\u201cTransparency is the core of our work. It is visible in our glass jars, which clearly showcase the products inside, and in every aspect of our business. Transparency is the promise we make to our customers: what you see is what you get, without compromises.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Farmers since 1800<\/h6>
Our grandparents always tell the story of a small farmhouse - \u201cCascina Sezza\u201d - located in Poirino, in the province of Torino. Our great-grandfather and his brothers cultivated the land by hand and gathered nature's offering, living in poverty and misery.<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
1923<\/div>
Coming to Casanova - Municipality of Carmagnola<\/h6>
At the beginning of the 20th century, right after the war, our grandfather Giovanni decided to buy a larger farmhouse - \u201cCascina Isonzo\u201d - and to move there from Poirino with his 10 children. The new farmhouse offered a much larger acreage to cultivate cereals and forage, making it possible to start raising livestock. The post-war poverty and the large family still demanded many sacrifices, but the fertile land yielded good harvesting. The new farmhouse was - and still is - located in Carmagnola, a Piedmontese, agricultural-oriented city, close to Torino. The flat landscape and the peculiar climate, with harsh winters and hot, sultry summers, are characteristic of the Po Valley, which begins here.<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
1980<\/div>
Moving to \u201cCascina Fiume\u201d<\/h6>
On St. Martin\u2019s Day, the end of the crop year, Giovanni\u2019s eldest son, Antonio, and his four children moved to the newly purchased farmhouse \u201cCascina Fiume\u201d, one kilometer away, while Antonio\u2019s brothers continued to manage the other farmhouse. Besides livestock farming, life in \u201cCascina Fiume\u201d began to revolve around the \u201cPeperone di Carmagnola\u201d: this famous bell pepper needs this specific climate and most importantly this fertile, peculiar soil, which cannot be found anywhere else. These natural elements provide the \u201cPeperone\u201d with unique organoleptic characteristics in terms of sweetness and pulp thickness. During those years, the whole production was sold to local merchants.<\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Building the preserve production workshop<\/h6>
After finishing his studies, Antonio\u2019s youngest son, Enrico, joined the company along with his brothers. Reclaiming an old barn that had not been used for a long time, they were able to build a new workshop: after years of growing bell peppers and other vegetables, the company was able to enhance its products transforming them into delicious preserves.<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
2015<\/div>
Catering and Canteen Management<\/h6>
In the summer of 2015, a fruitful and lasting collaboration began with the renowned company \"GAI S.p.A.\" of Ceresole d'Alba, signing a supply and management contract for the restaurant and canteen within the company, using the raw materials and preserves from our company.<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
2025<\/div>
Time to change clothes<\/h6>
Nowadays, our preserves are known and appreciated throughout Italy: time has come to take them out of the borders. On Sundays, a day of celebration, our parents used to put on their best clothes to go out. Our products need to do the same, they need to dress up before \u201cgoing out\u201d. The new logo, the intertwined initial letters of \u201cCascina Fiume\u201d, C and F, remind us of who we are: a bit farmers, as the trident used in the fields, and a bit chefs, as the fork used at the table.<\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
