WHERE DO WE PICK OUR ORGANIC, LOCAL, SEASONAL INGREDIENTS?

We know all our manufacturers personally. They are not only “suppliers”, but essential partners in making the good things that we do. We share the same values, that is,

responsible cultivation and respect for nature. Behind every good product there is the heart and soul,the love of whoever did the cultivation. That’s why our products are unique,

because they are soulful.

WHAT IS SLOW FOOD?Slow Food is an international grassroots membership organization promoting good, clean

and fair food for all. Good,clean and fair are three interconnected principles: Good is a fresh and flavorsome seasonal diet that satisfies the senses and is part of our local culture; Clean food production and consumption does not harm the environment, animal welfare

or our health; Fair is accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for small-scale producers.

WHAT ARE THE SLOW FOOD PRESIDIA? Presidia are projects run by the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity

to directly help groups of artisanal food producers. They sustain quality production at risk of extinction,protect unique regions and ecosystems, recover traditional processing

methods, and safeguard native breedsand local plant varieties.

OUR FLOURThe flours of our pastries are 100% organic. They are milled using the old-fashioned flouring process

on century-old roller mills, located in Anville, PA. This means that the slow flouring process and lower operation temperatures retain many naturally occurring nutrients and starches that are lost at the higher temperatures of

modern processing equipment. We say in Italian: “Più e’ naturale e più fa bene.” Which means: “The more natural, the healthier.”

THE “LIEVITO MADRE” (MOTHER YEAST) IN OUR BAKED DESSERTS & SWEETSThe fermentation of our leavening begins with a local, organic apple, as a symbol of the

Big Apple, New York. Then we use flour and water to create our “lievito madre” (mother yeast), which is the most natural and lightest form of leavening. Once our starter is established,it needs to be “fed” with love by replenishing it with flour and water once or more daily.

“Lievito madre” adds a more intense aroma, flavor and a unique fragrance to our baked goods.

MenuWHAT IS GELATO?

Gelato from L’Albero is a healthy choice, because we prepare it every morning using only the freshest organic ingredients, such as milk, cream, sugar and fruit of the season. Our Gelato has very low fat,

while our fruit Sorbetti is water-based and 100% fat free; the cream-based Gelato have a maximum of 6% fat (ice cream has 20% or more). Therefore our Gelato has very few calories.

A lower fat content gives gelato a much more intense flavor… so the flavorings are the real stars!

WINES OF CONSCIOUS FARMERSOur wines have a story of farming behind them, because viticulture is AGRICULTURE. They are the product of biodynamic

farming in the vineyard, where planting cycles follow the Lunar calendar, along with ecological and ethical farmingprinciples. Each wine represents the land and soil it came from – its terroir– and is produced with care and precision, as well

as without chemicals in the vineyard or in the cellar. Biodynamic wine is sustainable and is in harmony withthe Earth so that we may preserve it and pass it on. But above all, every wine tells the story of the wine growers:

their agricultural awareness, personal character, sensitivity and of course, a good dose of stubborness. Our wines are from small scale, sustainable growers who produce limited quantities. They choose to operate more rigorously than

required by organic standards – because their choice is an ethical choice, not a marketing choice. “Il ritorno contadino è rivoluzionario” The return is revolutionary peasant.”
