Do the cheese and Salami contain Preservatives and Additives?
Our approach is to utilize mainly “ clean products “ with minimal additives. Thus, we often provide raw milk cheese with natural rind and we also take into consideration the quality and provenience of the raw materials like milk, meat, spices, salt. Regarding salami we choose products without the addition of nitrites or artificial aromas. Our goal is to provide products with no more than 5 ingredients. Many of the wines we propose are organic and some biodynamic.
