A bit of history:

Potato cultivation in Leonessa has ancient origins, dating back to the 18th century.

Initially introduced as a marginal crop, the potato has gradually established itself as a fundamental food for the local population, thanks to its ability to adapt to the harsh climate and mountain terrain.

Over the centuries, the farmers of Leonessa have selected and passed down the most prized varieties, giving life to a unique and inimitable product.

Today, Leonessa Organic Potatoes are a symbol of the territory and a gastronomic excellence appreciated throughout Italy.

Conservation Tips:

Store potatoes in a cool, dry, dark place, preferably in a wicker basket or paper bag. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as low temperatures alter the flavor and texture.
