Thanks to the excellent grass, the cows give an exceptional milk both under the organoleptic-nutritional profile and as raw material for the production of dairy products among which it is obligatory to mention the ricotta and the typical local cheeses. In this oasis of uncontaminated nature, there are also: lush carob trees – the fruits of these trees, the carobs, are used in the preparation of artisan products (such as aromatic juices) and in the production of carob flour (with which delicious biscuits are prepared); olive trees that give a very tasty and light oil; almond trees and pear trees.
