Tastings, samplings, and meetings with suppliers to present the rich offering of the store
A rich program of events with local companies marks the ribbon cutting of Bottega Biologica, inside the new Manifattura Tabacchi.
During the opening week of the Manifattura Tabacchi factory, Bottega Biologica – a bio store that opened about a month ago in Florence, within the redeveloped former industrial complex at Via delle Cascine 35 (Building B5) – decided to involve some of the companies with which it collaborates and whose products are available on its shelves.
The store has organized a series of tasting events to sample the raw materials and get to know the activities of these companies and the people behind them.
From April 12 to 15, each day will be dedicated to a different company. Throughout the day, there will be an exhibition space at the Bottega featuring their products, and from 5 PM, the protagonists of these productions will be present to meet visitors and offer tastings.
Here’s the schedule:
- Wednesday, April 12 – Fattoria Triboli
- Thursday, April 13 – Azienda Agricola Ottomani
- Friday, April 14 – Fattoria Triboli
- Saturday, April 15 – Opera Waiting
Fattoria Triboli is a farm from Impruneta (FI), specializing in the production of award-winning EVO olive oil, honey, sauces, vegetables, and handmade vegan cheese. At the Bottega, they will present a tasting of vegan cheeses accompanied by their chestnut honey and acacia honey; an EVO oil tasting; and a tasting of sauces on bread.
Azienda Agricola Ottomani is located in Chianti, between the municipalities of Impruneta and Greve, and was founded and developed by recovering old vineyards, enhancing and preserving massal selections of native grape varieties (Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, Malvasia Nera, Trebbiano, and Malvasia Bianca). Their goal is to make truly “natural” wines, without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, employing “sustainable” methods.
To produce their organic extra-virgin olive oil, they collaborate with the best mills in the area, where the olives are pressed daily.
