A portion of cereal and herb garden

Cascina Garbianotto has got a farm with an adjoining small shop in Verduno and all the crops in San Rocco Cherasca – in our land we have a garden of medicinal herbs and a field in which uncontaminated cereals, aromatic herbs and wild flowers grow.
No type of herbicide or fertiliser is used here: to contain the weeds Antonella uses mulching with straw that is cereal waste.
The entire process of growing and processing the herbs is done by hand.
THE AROMATIC HERBS: the harvest is ground in the laboratory, mixed with whole Atlantic salt (Cadiz Bay – Andalusia) and then placed in jars. The result is highly fragrant dry condiments with multiple food uses.

The drying process is done naturally, which allows both the olfactory and organoleptic characteristics to remain intact.

The whole process of farming and processing of herbs and cereal is handmade.

HERBS: after the crop has been crushed in the workshop, it is blended with unrefined Atlantic sea salt (Cadiz bay – Andalucia) and then put into jars. The result is dry seasoning mixes that are very perfumed and can be used in a number of different ways while cooking.

Herbs are dried the natural way, which allows for retaining their smell and sensory properties.

CEREAL: before resulting into tasty products like crackers, flat bread schiacciatina and else, grains are grinded in an ancient stone mill that is located not far away from the estate.

THE MANUFACTURER

THE FARMER: Cascina Garbianotto Farm
THE GROWER: Antonella Mathis

Half Piedmontese, my paternal family is originally from Bra and owned various farmhouses and lands between the Langhe and Roero. As a child I fell in love with one of these, Cascina Garbianotto in Piobesi d’Alba and after graduating in botany I managed to move from Rome to live there with my husband.
I loved the whole world of plants and ever since I was a child I had the idea of living in the countryside, dreaming of being able to manage my own farm.
At Cascina Garbianotto the land is vast: in addition to the aromatic herbs, there is the vineyard, a large walnut grove and various meadows that offer me the opportunity to experiment and try to pursue what I have in mind. A place where the types of environments are many and different from each other, woods and meadows where I can find many wild varieties to eat or to offer: the cultivated areas, the areas that I would like to make humid to welcome as many species as possible, which contribute to creating an increasingly complex and self-sufficient balance.

The company has just started, the adventure has begun!
