Since the 1800s, one of the largest farms in Lucana Valley of Basilicata, Italy has been owned by the Mirogallo family, who specializes in the cultivation and preservation of heirloom varieties of fruit and vegetables from which they hand-make very high-quality pantry products. The Mirogallo brothers are quick to point out that everything they put in a jar comes from their fields, and that the only preservatives they use are vinegar and salt. Every summer, the Mirogallo farm is bustling with many farm-workers hand harvesting sun-ripe fruit and vegetables. Inside the old whitewashed farm building, a state-of-the-art kitchen transforms the bounty of every day into a wide array of jars of all color and sizes.

The Belfiore family has been farming since the 1800s. Their farm, the Masseria Mirogallo, sits on 70 acres of land in the province of Matera in the southern portion of Basilicata (a district known in ancient times as Lucania).

Basilicata is little known to most, but Matera is one of Italy’s main tourist destinations because it is home to the unique Sassi di Matera, a prehistoric settlement of stone houses built directly into caves. Today, the city is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
