Green economy
You only need to briefly look at our restaurant's roof to understand how much we care about sustainability.
Strong investments have been sustained by our administrator to depend as less as possible from non-sustainable energies.
In summer 2010 many solar panels have been installed to produce hot water, a 1000lts charger guarantee a constant flux of solar hot water to our dishwasher and washing machines; it was mandatory to buy electrical appliances that autonomally use hot water directly from our system, without using electrical resistances.In spring of 2012 our administrator asked to the company "Fratelli Dal Col", located in Robella d'Asti, to install a photovoltaic implant to produce 19W of electric energy; this investement grant an almost full coverage of our energetic needs.
These two different implants are the most concreet symbol of our "green philosophy", but there are a lot of other solutions that we apply every day to try to depend less more from fossil fuels:- We try to optimize car travels to our suppliers, buying the maximum amount available of products for every travel;
- We use the oven almost everytime at full charge, cooking at the same time all of those foods that have similar way of cooking;
- We use only season fruits and vegetables sold by nearby companies;
- Only Piedmont products are on our wine list, none of the bottles in our cellar travel along Italy on a truck;
- Wherever possible we have installed led or low consuption lamps;
- All of our garbage is separated during elaborations and destined to separate collection;
- When possible we try to reduce packaging by buying products with big package.
A lot has been already done, but a lot has yet to be done; because of this our company upgrades follow a proper green agenda that will slowly bring us to be much more sustainable; one of the next step will be to heat up our restaurant using less energy than the one we're using today.

Our heating technology to further improve the thermal insulation of the first plan recommended a " cap " of expanded polystyrene mixed concrete : said and done !

Read More...25 July 2013 – As you know the roof of our local is covered by solar panels that produce a good amount of electricity without pollution, to maximize our "pantry" of green energy we did install four electromagnetic induction hobs for cooking food. The great advantage of this innovative cooking system is that all the calories that we decide to use end up in the pot, then in the food, without heating the environment unnecessarily or parts close to the pot as you would with a traditional stove. There are also a whole series of other advantages related to the uniformity of cooking, the ease of cleaning, the absence of combustion, etc. .. To deepen your knowledge on this subject please read the wikipedia page dedicated to the "Induction Cooker".
Goodbye old and obsolete oil-fired boiler

Read More...21 July 2013 – Also during the redevelopment work of the kitchen we thought with our heating engineer to abandon the old oil boiler opting for natural gas more penetrating , less polluting and without the need for storage since we are connected to the grid of methane. After some calculations to verify the actual calorie needs of our structure , considering the important help from the solar panels to produce hot water on the roof , the heating engineer advised us two separate condensing boilers that can work separately , so to operate with greater efficiency and lower waste the fluctuating demands for hot water in the restaurant. This innovative system allows the boiler to a much higher yield than traditional gas boilers , is in fact used the heat present in the flue gas to heat the incoming water : simple and brilliant! Now there we heat more quickly and with less pollution !
Installation of a water purifier for drinking water

Read More...15 July 2013 – During the period of closure for refurbishment of the kitchen we decided to leave the water in the bottle. We believe and know that trading water is unethical, water must be good for everyone, and especially to everyone, a good which no one should make money, so soon as it was possible we left the water in the bottle: now the water that you can find on our tables do not travel hundreds of miles on the truck, but comes directly from our water supply, purified and sterilized by a processing system, supplied by the industry leader. Cin! Cin!
