Spicy Sangiovannese BIO Sauce

l'Az. Agr. Radici is located at the foot of the Pratomagno, in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany, the farm spreads across plots of land ranging between 300 and 1300 metres in altitude, an ideal physical setting for creating a wide range of products, and this is how the Sangiovannese-style Spiced Sauce BIO came about

Sangiovannese-style Spiced Sauce BIO

on the plateau of Loro Ciuffenna near the vines and olive trees, we grow various Mediterranean species at 300 metres above sea level, while in the mountains we gather wild berries and chestnuts and much of the fruit we use for our jams. 60 species grown each year that we process in our workshop. Over the years we have gained great experience in organic farming and in processing agricultural products. But our focus, beyond land cultivation, is also directed towards processing. From this idea a series of specialities typical of our region and our mountains was born. Yet at the same time they retain that distinctive exclusivity of recipes, combining tastes and flavours often forgotten. Our aim is to offer recipes that require long, careful preparation and to make them available so unique, traditional flavours can be savoured. Each of our products has a unique taste. Prepared following every step, with simple methods and genuine ingredients.

Tuscan Tradition

Born in the heart of San Giovanni Valdarno, the Sangiovannese-style Stew is one of the most authentic and captivating dishes of Tuscan tradition.

Legend has it that the recipe was created by a worker from San Giovanni who, during the First World War, worked as a cook in Libya. Fascinated by the scents and spices of North Africa, he brought back to his homeland a preparation with an intense and surprising flavour, destined to become a symbol of local cuisine.

Since then, this extraordinary spiced stew has become part of family homes and traditions, becoming the must-have dish for the Carnival lunch for families in San Giovanni.

The sauces from Azienda Agricola Radici are made with fresh tomatoes and crafted with meticulous care at every stage of production. The various cooking stages take place, depending on the ingredients used, in different pans. They then come together in larger containers where the flavours blend. They are then hot-packed in glass jars and pasteurised. Of course, no flavour enhancers, thickeners or other additives are used. As well as for dressing first courses, the sauces can be used on toasted bread, then briefly gratinated in the oven. They are also excellent for flavouring meat, fish or egg dishes, resulting in a tasty main course with a simple and quick preparation.
