Christmas food market in the San Rossore Park

The flavours of quality food and wine take centre stage in San Rossore on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 December. The third edition of the Christmas Market featuring products from the Park will be held from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm in the Sala Gronchi at Cascine Vecchie.

New this year is locally sourced beef produced on the San Rossore organic farm, calves that are born and raised exclusively on the estate and fed only on pasture and hay and fodder grown on site, and honey from the Lame di Fuori nature reserve, produced by bees that collect nectar from flowers growing there: limonium, sea chamomile, sea lily, sea holly and beach grass. You can also find the classic San Rossore pine nuts, with their unique aromatic and organoleptic properties, beach honey with its intense and unmistakable flavour, seasonal vegetables and the renowned Pisan piastrelle.

Among the specialities are spices harvested by hand to create more or less spicy blends to enrich your dishes, such as Mitmita, Berberé, Ethiopian curry, and Teff, an ancient grain grown between the sea and the pine forest that is naturally gluten-free. The wines of the Park are produced on the Versilia coast, cultivated organically with a characteristic minerality due to the salty air and sand: whites, reds, rosés and sparkling wines, as well as bottles aged in the sea.
