For this fruit spread from Palazzo di Varignana's own farm, plums are harvested from the gardens in the surrounding hills and cooked in the traditional way. The jar contains almost 85 percent plums, the rest is sugar obtained from grapes. The plum fruit spread is a real treat for the palate, which enhances homemade cakes and enriches breakfast or small snacks with all types of bread - it is also worth combining with cheese.

Not far from Bologna, in the picturesque hills of Emilia Romagna, lie the buildings and estates of Palazzo di Varignana, in the center of which lies Villa Bentivoglio, a summer residence from the early 18th century. It is surrounded by a series of carefully renovated historical buildings that have been put back into active use. Since 2015, there has also been an agricultural estate there, which now cultivates more than 500 hectares of land. Historic, indigenous olive varieties are cultivated on around 200 hectares, the fruit of which is processed in the traditional way into recognized and award-winning olive oils. A further 50 hectares are used for viticulture and the estate also has a vegetable garden and large orchards. The fruit for delicious fruit spreads comes from the latter.
