RUFFANO COMMERCIAL FARM
At the Ruffano Commercial Farm in Forio, Ischia, you can buy the genuine products of our land, such as figs, olives, tomatoes, capers, jams, honey, olive oil and our wines. Come, we will take you to visit it with us!
The commercial farm takes its name from the vast countryside surrounding Cava Ruffano, where our crops are grown. We have 18 hectares of land, 11 of which are cultivated.
Here, simple agricultural tradition and attention to the biodiversity of the island of Ischia are at the foundation of most of the ingredients that add quality and taste to the food of our restaurant.
We always grow vegetables in season, without the use of chemical pesticides or artificial fertilizers.
It is the presence of bees that guarantees the absence of the use of pesticides and chemicals in our crops (if we used chemical substances our poor bees would all die!). This way, the bees can live peacefully and produce excellent honey from wildflowers, chestnut, thistle, alianthus and other wildflowers.

We use the same natural approach in our orchard and citrus grove, from which the fruit used in our homemade jams and desserts comes.
At the farm estate, we also focus on raising small farmyard animals and, most notably, rabbit, which is the main ingredient in one of the traditional dishes of the local cuisine, the ischitana-style rabbit.
Surrounding Punta Chiarito are centuries-old olive trees. From these trees, the fruit is expertly processed to produce a renowned extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed using the family mill (the only olive press that allows to use this method on the island of Ischia).
The Punta Chiarito winery is always open for guest visits. Here, you can taste our products and our selected wines, including Ruffano, our red wine, and Biancolella DOC, both made from grapes grown carefully and according to organic methods. The wine tastings are often complemented by small local specialties, to offer you an even tastier and more enjoyable experience.
