Think of a farm, located in a small rural village in the in land of Romagna, covering more than 16 hectares of land. Imagine a dream, the dream Antonio Batani himself and his family had ten years ago to offer their hotel guests absolutely genuine and fresh products, of guaranteed provenance.
Why not start our own production then? Wondered Antonio Batani. Today on the hills of Acquapartita and at the farm near Cesena, several varieties of fruits, vegetables and legumes are grown according to the principles of natural, seasonal and non-intensive farming. Today, the farm employs 20 people on a permanent basis. Cherries, strawberries, peaches and apricots, walnuts, figs, potatoes, aubergines, courgettes, beans and peas, just to mention a few, are part of a great variety of fruits and vegetables produced with passion and love for the land.
This is the strawberry collection month: red, juicy and savory they arrive ready to eat on your table, directly from the producer to the consumer and absolutely “low impact”.
Why should you prefer low impact products?
- The environment is preserved and “thanks you”
- All the products are fresh, tastier and provenance-guaranteed
- They are high quality, with no preserves.
- They are genuine and we feed our children with them.
In the kitchens of the Batani Select Hotels group, only local products are used to prepare recipes that are simple and light, that enhance the true flavors and personalities of each product, according to the “good food” philosophy. Hereunder, some strawberry-based recipes, nicely prepared by Giuseppe Certa Chef at the Universal Hotel panoramic restaurant in Cervia.
