Carli Saverio

Carli Saverio cultivates Patata della Sila IGP, a starchy tuber linked to the Sila Plain and the protected area encompassing twenty-four municipalities. This potato is defined by its high dry matter content: a characteristic that makes it particularly suitable for frying, where it develops a crispy skin around an interior that remains soft, and which at the same time allows it to last through winter without the need for chemical preservatives. The character of this tuber is not born in a cold storage cell but in the field. The altitude of the Calabrian plateau and the volcanic soils impart density and firmness to the flesh, qualities that explain why the protected geographical denomination emphasizes both the place and the variety. In the hands of those who cultivate it, Patata della Sila thus becomes a pantry staple rather than a short-season product: it stores well, fries well, and holds its shape when cooked. An ordinary root that the Sila environment transforms into something recognizable, measurable in its texture even before its flavor.
