{"title":"Agostinelli Mario - Fagiolo Zolfino","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a very small and circumscribed area, revolving around only five municipalities in Pratomagno (Ar), on the Valdarnese side, an \u003cstrong\u003eunmistakable legume\u003c\/strong\u003e is produced: the Fagiolo Zolfino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is precisely in this area that the story of a Tuscan tradition was born, a tradition that starts from the land and ends at the table. A story made of love, simplicity, expertise and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all began twenty years ago when the Agostinelli family decided to start cultivating ancient varieties of legumes found in the Tuscan territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe University of Florence made available the first lots of seeds to start the business after which, over time, the Agostinelli company became the reference for experimentation and genetic improvement as well as the custodian of the germplasm of Fagiolo Zolfino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMario Agostinelli, who is the main grower with the largest land area (12ha), is proud of his creation: a bean with a unique taste, rich in protein, iron, mineral salts and recommended for a vegetarian or vegan diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique characteristics of this product derive from the composition of the soil in which it is grown, and thanks to which a highly digestible Fagiolo Zolfino is obtained, thanks to its very fine skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is Mario himself, together with his collaborators, who follows all the stages of the product's growth up to its selection and packaging, which take place strictly by hand, taking care of every detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt present, the Agostinelli company collaborates with the Faculty of Microbiology of the University of Pisa, in research aimed at enhancing the nutritional and health characteristics of Fagiolo Zolfino, a \u003cstrong\u003enutraceutical food\u003c\/strong\u003e with anti-inflammatory capacities and indicated for the nutrition of people suffering from particular diseases such as diabetes.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/destination-gusto-produzione.myshopify.com\/en\/collections\/agostinelli.oembed","provider":"Destination Gusto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
