Discover the Flavors of Val d'Orcia
The typical products of the Maccari Farm represent the essence of our territory. Each product is the result of an artisanal process that respects tradition and enhances the quality of local raw materials.
Saffron from Val d'Orcia
Our saffron has its roots in the traditions of Montalcino, where our grandparents cultivated it with dedication. Today, on about 1,5 hectares of land, we continue this tradition. Cultivation begins in August, with the planting of bulbs in raised rows for optimal water drainage. Harvesting, however, is entirely manual: each flower is carefully selected, and from the flowers we collect the precious pistils, which we dry with a weight loss of 75%. Only then is our saffron ready to be packaged, preserving its value in every gram.
Artisan honey
Our company hosts ten hives to help safeguard bees, which are essential to our ecosystem. Located in the northeast area of Montalcino, the bees produce a unique honey, feeding on the flowers of the Val d'Orcia. By checking the hives weekly, we ensure that the bees thrive in health and safety. Our passion is not only for honey: it is a commitment to nature and to the heritage of Montalcino, which has always been known as the "City of Honey".
Homemade beers
In addition to honey, we also produce craft beers that express the authentic flavors of our land. Our beers are made with selected ingredients and following traditional production methods.
