Chestnuts

We only grow indigenous chestnut varieties.

We select the best fruit. They are handpicked (in order to prevent the dirt from caking) at optimum ripeness, making the quality of this product apparent by its organoleptic characteristics (smell, taste, etc.). Our organic chestnuts are not only chemical free, but also contain more vitamins, minerals and trace elements, promoting a healthy diet.

Boletus

We don’t only grow mushrooms in order to transform them and get exquisite products; we also do it to protect our chestnut trees.

We ensure that there is proper vegetation cover so as to conserve soil and save water by using different conservation tillage systems, favoring the growth of the beneficial fauna, flora, soil organisms and microorganisms.

Figs

In our fig trees, we grow exceptional figs for their sweet taste and fragrant aroma, making them an excellent ingredient to consume with chestnuts in order to obtain a sophisticated product.

Figs are composed of 80% water and 12% sugar. The fruit, when ripe, is very good for digestion because it contains a special substance called Cradina. They possess vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and Iron. When they are ready to be picked they have a dry stem, wrinkled skin and release a drop of syrup when opened. It is commonly said in Spain that it must have “a hung man’s neck, a poor man’s clothing and a widow’s eye.”
