La Soleggiata is an organic farm located on the slopes of the Serra Morenica. It has always chosen to follow the principles of organic cultivation and respect for nature to be able to savor the true flavor of fruit, in all its forms. It also follows the times of nature, with seasonal processes that respect the soil and allow the trees to grow rich and strong. They only use organic manure. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are prohibited. Michael, the owner, practices the alternating mowing of the rows to preserve a natural habitat favorable to ladybugs and beneficial insects. The following are produced with 5 varieties of apples: 100% apple juice; apple jams, plain or flavored; spreads with apples, hazelnuts and cocoa or with apples, macaroons and cocoa or with apples, hazelnuts and honey. And finally, a real gem of the Biella area: apple mostarda! It is made with only apples cooked for 15/18 hours and the same consistency as honey but not as sweet.
