About half of the entire company extension is occupied by natural environments such as woods, meadows, hedges, gully formations and streams that make the natural and biological quality of our cultivations very high. The agricultural surfaces, on the other side, immersed in a natural environment that is far from sources of pollution. They are mainly cultivated with cereals, legumes, fruit, vegetables and vines, or they are destined to pastures dedicated to the breeding of Romagna cows. In addition to them, we also breed pigs in collaboration with selected local breeders. The company is run and certified organic. It also uses biodynamic practices to obtain the best possible products, both from the point of view of healthiness and environmental sustainability. In particular, the main crops are cereals (such as wheat, spelled, barley), fruit (peaches, nectarines and small fruits) and, last but not least, wine grapes.
From cultivation, we obtain high quality organic products that Corte San Ruffillo transforms into delicacies for your table. Each process is seasonal, perfectly in tune with the rhythms of nature, which allow us to make the most of what the earth makes available to us throughout the year. Autumn is harvest time and we dedicate our energies to the vinification of grapes, spring and summer are time for fruit and vegetables that we turn into preserves for the winter months, winter, with its cold temperatures, is time to take care of the meat for the preparation of cold cuts and sausages. All the processes are handmade, on a small scale, to give the best of simple and genuine products.
Organic fruit and vegetables become canned preserves in Corte San Ruffillo laboratories, such as fruit compotes, pickles and chutneys, to bring to your table the taste and quality of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, even in the winter months. The processing of the latter without the use of semi-finished and preservative additives preserves the integrity and wholesomeness of the original raw material.
Thanks to the close collaboration we have with selected breeders of our territory, we obtain heavy pigs destined to the production of sausages and whole-piece cold cuts. In the laboratories of Corte San Ruffillo we produce quality cold cuts, with a handcrafted technique and a slow and careful aging (followed by a longer aging). These products are destined for those who look for the original taste of the culture of the earth. All the cuts are worked: from the cheek to the ham, from the loin to the pork butt, obtaining culattas, fiocco di prosciutto (high quality ham), salami, sausages, pancettas, cheek lards that reflect and respect the richness of the pig.
