  The La Nicchia jam is only prepared when the oranges are in season and have reached the right balance between sweetness and sharpness.

  The Deseo Sweet Biscuits with olive oil cocoa and pistachios are crunchy, farmhouse biscuits. The dough is based on extra virgin olive oil, flour and sugar.
  
  The Locchi workshop produces glass and crystal objects for the table and home decoration.
  Here everything is forged by making use of ancient blowing techniques and finished by careful grinding and engraving processes, rigorously executed by hand.
  
  Muffato della Sala is produced from grape bunches attacked by Botrytis Cinerea picked in early November in order to allow morning mist and fog to assist in the development of “noble rot”. on the grapes. This special kind of mould reduces the amount of water in the berries and concentrates the sugar and the aromas, giving Muffato della Sala a harmonious and unmistakable aroma and flavor.
  
  The Santa Cristina Antinori vin santo is intense yellow with amber highlights, the wine shows aromas of toasted hazelnuts, honey, and apricots along with light notes of citrus fruit. Full-bodied on the palate with honeyed and nutty flavors, it is a long and supple wine with an intense finish of chestnut flour and herbs.

• History

  Since 1858 the Prato Biscuits have been baked daily and hand-packed one by one, in the classic Blu Mattei bag.
  
  The Dark Chocolate Biscuits come out of our oven for the first time in 2013, these are also hand-packed one by one, originally in the red bag, and from 2019 in the Blu Mattei bag with Red label.
  
  In 2017 the Mattei family is added the new taste to Pistachios and Almonds.
  
  In 2019 a new biscuit was born, even more delicious! It is the variant with the prestigious Piedmont IGP Hazelnuts: a trilobate hazelnut, with a particular weight and toasting flavor, carefully selected for the traditional dough of our Biscuits.
  
  The production of toasted Pan Brioche Slices has been documented since the beginning of the Antonio Mattei biscuit factory in 1858.
  
  Tin packs are traditionally used for better preservation of biscuits; Biscottificio has been offering them since the last century, not only for the maintenance of its biscuits, but also as reusable containers.
  
  From the early 1900s, under the loggias of Piazza del Comune in Prato, in the coffee, tobacco and spices shop, the Padovani family sells its precious coffee blends.
  
  In 1949 Antonio Bonomo and Girolamo Giglio started the activity of the Capperificio in Pantelleria de La Nicchia.
  Today, after more than sixty years, the company is the only Pantelleria reality to be an Agricultural Company, Capperificio and Artigianale Laboratory.
  
  The first of Deseo's goals is to create balanced and tasty biscuits by focusing on the excellence of the ingredients, natural flavors, artisanal processing methods and traditional cooking systems.
  Every year new combinations of taste are produced, new packaging, always attentive to the needs of a loyal clientele already widespread in Italy and worldwide.
  
  The origins of Moleria Locchi date back to the end of the 19th century when, in the San Frediano district, the heart of the Florentine Oltrarno, an artisan workshop was founded. It created beautiful glasses requested, at the time, in luxury ships and in large hotels for their extraordinary refinement.
  
  Castello della Sala is located in Umbria, not far from the border with Tuscany, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. The lands of the Castle, an imposing medieval manor, extend for 500 hectares, of which 170 hectares planted with vines, halfway between the river Paglia and the summit of Monte Nibbio.
  
  The first vintage of Santa Cristina was produced in 1946 by Marquis Niccolò Antinori.
  The Antinori family has been dedicated to wine production for more than six hundred years: since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Art of the Vinattieri.
