Terre Nere is a young firm, born from the passion of two guys, in love with their native country and with the produce sprout on the soils in the shadow of the volcano. Terre Nere is also a challenge: to contain, within a jar, the thousand colours and flavours of an extraordinary area. The knowledge of the territory and the passion for those produce which - representing very small realities - find no space in the global market, bring about a line of unusual, precious and original preserves. That's why we personally see to our raw materials, from sowing to harvest, prefer small farms to check more precisely all the processes before they get to our firm.
An accurate selection of the producers and of their produce which varies according to the seasons, on the ground of the quality of the years and the crops, leads us to select the best fruit, honey and spices, which we combine and transform, taking care of respecting, at most, their organoleptic characteristics. It is a care we destine also to the strictly manual grading, preparation and peeling, in order to preserve and keep the consistence and integrity of the fruit.
We respect the rhythm of the seasons,
we don't use fruit neither frozen nor produced in a greenhouse,, but we work only fresh produce, within 24 hours from the harvest. Even the lemon juice employed in our preserves is squeezed at the time of manufacture at our firm.. To sugar, the only preservative of our products, we mix honey from Zafferana Etnea, to createa refined sweetness as well as reduced calories and an extraordinary palatability which can be granted only by a best quality honey. Moreover, the peel of the most precious citrus fruit is candied in orange blossom honey, with an exclusive process which makes it soft and crisp, keeping the scent and flavour intact.
Jellies, finally, propose in a different way the most noble Sicilian wines: intense, delicate or combined with exotic spices, they perfectly match with the typical cheeses, cold cuts and boiled meat, even with fish and crustaceous, in a "marriage" of tastes which surprises and charms even the most refined palates. Our customers are wine bars, specialized delicatessen shops and boutiques, first class cuisine restaurants and charming hospitalities, in Italy and abroad. According to this policy, jars and labels represent a precise choice, a clear message:
let the content show, leaving it as much as possible at sight, for a sensorial experience starting even before opening the packing..
